## Sign-in and licence state
What an app writes when someone signs in or activates a licence is withheld
from the seed: the bundle's receiver supplies their own. Mark
`pre-sign-in` with `mark_build_checkpoint` just before the sign-in or
activation and `post-sign-in` just after, both before `seed`: every file
under the owned paths that changed between them is withheld, and the draft
leaves it out. A file the app writes at first launch, such as a trial's
licence file, changes before you can mark anything: name it in
`export_build_environment`'s `withhold`. The export lists each withheld file
in `withheld_files` with the environment variable a deploy reads it from and
the handle of the secret REA keeps its bytes in; a check may not name one.
The export refuses a seed file holding a withheld file's exact bytes, such as
a `.bak` copy, but a backup that differs from it is not caught: trash backups
before `seed`.
Explicitly withhold any other files the person identifies as sensitive;
REA does not infer secrecy from a value's shape or a file name.

signing key saved on this host; for a PPA, fetch it from
keyserver.ubuntu.com by the fingerprint its Launchpad page shows.
- When the app exits at launch for want of a runtime piece its package does
not install, start a new build computer with that package in

MyPaint needs
`{"kind": "archive", "package": "mypaint", "extra_packages": ["librsvg2-common"]}`
for its SVG icons, and Freeplane `["openjdk-17-jre"]`, since its launcher
refuses noble's Java 21. Name one up front, too, when a package the app
only recommends holds its content, such as QElectroTech's element library
`qelectrotech-data`, without which no component can be placed.
- Take the `.deb` path only when the app is not in the archive at all, not
to add a package. Ask the requester for its URL and SHA-256; do not fetch
a vendor's download page yourself. List its `Depends` as `dependencies`,
with any runtime piece it lacks: it installs with the network off.

`type_secret` takes no `screenshot`; look with a `wait` after it. A refusal
names the secret's file and what is wrong with it: tell the person, never

- Prefer shortcuts and typing to long pointer paths: `key` takes `keys`, an
array holding one chord's keys, such as
`{"action": "key", "keys": ["Control", "s"]}`, and `type` turns `\n` into
`{"action": "key", "keys": ["ctrl", "s"]}`, and `type` turns `\n` into

- Before `type`, check in a screenshot that a text cursor or a focused

- Save As differs by app. Check the dialog's current folder first: most

`~/Documents` and its sidebar has no Documents entry. Type only the file
name. A dialog taller than the 1280×800 screen hides its buttons:
maximize it from its title bar, or confirm it with `key` Return, as when
HomeBank's Save button is off-screen. When a GTK Save dialog ignores
clicks or runs off the screen, type `~/Documents/<name>` in its Name field
and press Return.
- Answer the app's save questions, such as keeping the format, then check
the saved path in the title or status bar, or the dialog's folder when
the app shows only the name, and that it shows no unsaved mark, before
you mark a checkpoint or check. Where the title never shows one, as in
HomeBank, a greyed Save or Revert, or the file reopened from recent
files, confirms the save.
- Qt spin boxes change their value on scroll: move the pointer off them

- gLabels edits an object's text in Object properties → Text, not on the

- In Grisbi's transaction form Return moves to the next field; only Return
in the last field, Notes, records the transaction.
- ghostwriter autosaves a new document as `~/Documents/untitled-1.md`: name
it with File → Rename, not Save As; Ctrl+Shift+S does nothing, and Enter
after a checklist item starts another `- [ ]` item.
- KMyMoney's first launch opens the New File Setup wizard; Finish asks for a
storage type (XML), then a Save As where typing `Documents/<name>.kmy`
works. Its date field is a sectioned Qt editor: double-click the month and
type each part, since Ctrl+A garbles it. A new transaction's payee comes
prefilled and selected. Amounts are saved as reduced fractions, such as
`-1749/20`, so compare them exactly. Untick Help → Tip of the Day → "Show
tips on startup" before `seed`, or the tip appears at every boot.
- QElectroTech: an element dropped from Collections follows the pointer until
a click on the folio places it. Its title shows only the app, so it needs
`state_paths`; its settings are in `~/.qet`.
- Rosegarden: after a dialog its Transport window can take keyboard focus,
so save with File → Save.
- Pencil2D: the Tools dock is too narrow for its buttons, so use shortcuts
(B for the brush); double-click a layer's name to rename it.
- Umbrello: the title shows no unsaved mark, so confirm a save with a probe
checkpoint. An Untitled document autosaves `~/autosave.xmi`: delete it
before `seed`. Add attributes from the tree: right-click the class → New →
Attribute.
- Hydrogen: the computer has no audio device, so Hydrogen falls back to a
null driver and its BPM field snaps back to 120 within about 100 ms.
Before `seed`, set Preferences → Audio System → ALSA with device `null`
and click "Apply and restart output", which `~/.hydrogen/hydrogen.conf`
keeps for the seed; also set autosaves per hour to 0, and dismiss the
development-version dialog with "Don't show again". `pulseaudio` as an
extra package does not help.
- Poedit cannot add entries by hand. Use File → New, pick the language and
save to `Documents` first (Sources Paths stays locked until then), then
Properties → Sources Paths → + → Add Files with a source such as
`/usr/lib/python3.12/argparse.py`. It writes `fr.mo` beside the `.po`, and
the language box's autocomplete popup takes the first OK click.
- CherryTree: its first-run autosave "Choose Storage Type" dialog swallows
keys, so save once early as `.ctd` and untick autosave.
- VSCodium (its tarball, with `extra_packages: ["libnss3",
"libasound2t64"]`) runs on outside REA's reach, so `stop_build_capture`
fails to clean it up: after `end`, quit it with Ctrl+Q, then stop. Enter
accepts its word suggestions, so press Escape after typing a line.
- Glade: a new widget's id is empty until you set it, and a second save
writes a `.glade~` backup, which shows in the draft as an unrelated
change. A backup present at `seed` is seeded with the document, so trash
it before `seed`. The draft names a button's `<child>` by the id
its widget carries, `[name=child][>object@id=submit_button]`, which moving
the button keeps; give the widget an id before `seed` so it can.
- VYM: the title never names the map, so pass `Documents/<map>.vym` in
`state_paths`. Its settings live in `.config/InSilmaril` and are written
only at a clean exit. It writes `<map>.vym.lock` while a map is open, so
close the map before `seed`. Press A only after clicking a branch on the
canvas: keys typed in the tree editor run other shortcuts.
- KmPlot: Create → Cartesian Plot, then edit the formula in the Function
tab and press Return. It stores minus as U+2212 (`−`). Its file:// title
still names the file.
- RedNotebook keeps each month in `~/.rednotebook/data/YYYY-MM.txt`, YAML
read as text, folded at about column 80: pick check phrases the fold keeps
on one line.
- Qt5 apps saving with QDom, such as KmPlot, write attributes in a random
order in each process, so check their XML by element, never by whole line.
- Gnumeric's desktop entry is `org.gnumeric.gnumeric`. Its Save As dialog
runs off the 1280×800 screen: type `~/Documents/<name>` in Name and press
Return. Rename a sheet with right-click on its tab, then Rename….
- Parley's title shows the collection's title, so name the file in
`state_paths`. File → New opens the new collection's Properties dialog:
confirm it with OK, since Cancel keeps the old collection and its autosave
lock open. A new collection starts with 15 blank entries: delete them.
Pick languages from the dropdown; a typed name keeps the previous locale.
While a document is open KDE keeps an autosave and its `.lock` in
`~/.local/share/stalefiles/parley/`, and there is no File → Close: before
`seed`, use File → New, then reopen the collection from Open Recent.
- Sigil: pass `extra_packages: ["libqt5svg5"]`, or its SVG toolbar icons are
blank. Its title names the book, so it needs no `state_paths`. It unpacks
the open book into `.local/share/sigil-ebook/sigil/workspace/Sigil-XXXXXX/`
and deletes it on exit, so never name the whole `sigil-ebook` folder: that
seeds the stale copy.
- Save As opens in the home: click Documents in its sidebar and type only
the file name. Answer the app's save questions, such as keeping the
format, then check the saved path in the title or status bar, or the
dialog's folder when the app shows only the name, and that it shows no
unsaved mark, before you mark a checkpoint or check.

- Dismiss first-run dialogs, such as a welcome screen, before `seed`. A
choice the app saves only later, such as Inkscape's "show this every
time", may not reach the seed, so expect the dialog in the witness too.
- Some apps write their settings late: Freeplane writes
`~/.config/freeplane/1.7.x/auto.properties` only once Preferences is
confirmed, and a seed without it reopens its documentation map. Before
`seed`, open the app's preferences and confirm them, then read a probe
checkpoint's `changed_files` to see the settings file written.
- Before `seed`, click into the document to clear any selection the app
would save: Gnote saves its cursor and selection with the note.
- An app whose state folder is named after it, such as
`~/.local/share/gnote`, or after it and its version, such as TreeLine's
`~/.treeline-3.1`, is found without `state_paths`.
- TreeLine: File → New opens a template window. Book List's CATEGORY makes
AUTHOR children by default; change it under Data → Configure Data Types →
Default Child Type. A new child opens an inline rename showing "", so
press Escape and fill its fields in the Data Edit tab. Ctrl+A adds a child
node even while a field has focus. Clicking a node already selected starts
an inline rename, so Ctrl+X then cuts its text: cut a node from its
context menu. It saves nodes sorted by their
generated uid1, so their order changes from run to run. The draft names a
new node by its format and a field of its `data`,
`/nodes/[format=BOOK][>data~1Title=The Silk Roads]`, and checks its other
fields through that, so give each new node a title no other node has.

It need not exist yet. Add the app's settings folder when its name
differs from the app's, such as `.config/MuseScore`, so the seed keeps
the dismissed first-run dialogs. Do not pass the document as a launch

leaves out the file's extension and Grisbi's shows the entity's name,

Osmo's contacts in `~/.local/share/osmo/contacts_records.xml`, has no
document: that state is the seed. Build it in the app and mark `seed`

checkpoint, such as `probe-1`, and read its `changed_files`: up to ten
files that changed since the checkpoint before, those a window title
named first, then those under `state_paths` and those the app held
open, caches last, with `more_changed_files` counting the rest.
- The app's own compressed format works when it is gzip, such as
Gnumeric's `.gnumeric`, Dia's `.dia` or Inkscape's `.svgz`: REA reads
the document inside, and checks point into it as into the same
document uncompressed. Compression may be off by default: Dia's

compressed with xz, has no view: save in a format the app offers that

checkpoint means capturing again on a new build computer, while a failed
draft command names its own cause to fix. If a declared secret was used,
automatic drafting is withheld: write the task manually and export it.
When `draft.files` is empty,
`draft.notes` says why:
- `no_change`: nothing was saved between `seed` and `end`. Capture again
on a new build computer, and save before marking `end`. When the app
keeps the task's state only on screen, such as a calculator's result,
judge the screen instead (see Judge the screen).
- `unowned_changes` with `no_document`: the app saved your document
where REA did not count it as the app's. Its `files` list what changed,
with their roles; the document is among them. Close the computer and
capture again on a new one with that path in `state_paths`; the export
refuses a check on a file outside the owned paths.
- `uncheckable_changes`: the app saved the change in dconf, as gedit does
its preferences, and no check reads dconf. Saving again does not help:
choose a change the app saves in a file, and capture again on a new
build computer, or judge the screen (see Judge the screen).
- `unreadable_changes`: a dconf database changed but REA could not read
it; `error` says why. This is not evidence the app saved there: report
the error rather than changing the task.
A note with a `file` says why that file's suggestions are thin:
- `by_position`: only position names what changed; its `elements` lack
a naming attribute. Name a record that keeps its fields as child
elements by one of them, as Osmo's contact by
`[name=contact][>first_name=Delphine]`, a JSON record by a field
inside it, `[>data/Title=…]` (`~1` for the `/` inside a pointer), or
an element by an id its child carries, `[>object@id=…]`; count records
with `member_count`, `matching` `[name=contact]`; otherwise check an
ancestor's text, or give the element an id in the app and capture again.
- `view_state_only`: every change is view state, a renumbered id or a
time the app stamps, and its `pointers` are the checks kept. The edit
was likely not saved: capture again and save it before `end`.
- `long_text`: the element's text is too long to check whole; check a
phrase in it with `text_contains`.
- `cut_view` or `unreadable_view`: REA's view holds only part of the
file, or none a check can read, such as a binary format (step 3). For
a binary file, read it with a reader (see Read a binary file with a

- Checks are file-based: content checks that prove the edit, never only that
a file exists or changed. Start from the suggestions; keep those that say
what the user did and drop what follows from how the app saves.
- Compare exact values, so a typo or a wrong number fails.
- Read each file's `values` before writing checks: every value the change
added, changed and removed, with `before` and `after` (an uncut scalar, or
a preview cut at 600 characters) at the pointer a check names it by. Copy
the pointer. Copy `after` into `value` only when it is an uncut scalar: a
string without a trailing `…`, a number, or a boolean. Compact XML and a
JSON array or object are preview strings, so a `value_equals` check needs
the structured value from the file's view, and element text uses
`text_equals` or `text_contains`.
Only XML files, archives, JSON and key files have values: a text file's
or SQLite database's `change` already lists its lines and rows.
`refers_to` says what a number or id stands for, such as `category="44"`
naming `<cat key="44" name="Groceries"/>`, or a new KMyMoney
transaction's splits naming their account and payee; use it for the
prompt's words. `alternatives` gives a changed value's pointer by the
element's other names, such as a label beside an id, to pick another key
without another export.

pointer) or noise (`view_state`, `renumbered`, `volatile`,

Point a text check at the paragraph or another element the edit keeps,
never at a run such as AbiWord's `[name=c]`: a reopened document splits
the text into several runs. The draft lists only what changed; an
unchanged element is in `draft.guards` when it is a like sibling of a
changed one, and otherwise use the app's usual numbering, such as another
paragraph's `xid`, and let the export confirm it.
- In an ODS spreadsheet no attribute names a row: the draft names it by its
label cell, `[name=table:table-row][>table:table-cell=February]`. Where no
cell names it alone, name the sheet in the seed, and check its whole
text: `text_equals` on
`/entries/[name=content.xml]/view/root/children/[name=office:body]/children/[name=office:spreadsheet]/children/[name=table:table][@table:name=Q1 Sales]`,
or a stretch of it with `text_contains`. Cell texts join with nothing
between, so a row reads `February23100`.
- For a line added to free text, such as an item on a note's list, the
draft compares the whole text with `text_equals`. This rejects longer or
negated items, but can reject a correct edit with different ordering or
spacing. Report that limitation when the task permits such variations.
- For a note placed by its own `x` and `y`, such as Xournal++'s `<text>`
on a layer, the draft checks its text on the layer with `text_contains`,
which passes wherever the user puts it, and guards each note it kept.
- Some apps keep text in an attribute, one element per run, such as
Scribus's `<ITEXT CH=...>`: add `"text_attribute": "CH"` to `text_equals`

`/root/children/[name=DOCUMENT]/children/[name=PAGEOBJECT][@ANNAME=Headline]`,
to read its runs' values joined.
- When the draft shows no values or no checks, a scratch export can expose
`envs/<env>/seed/` only after the task has at least one valid check: it must
pass on the captured end state and fail on the seed. Before the first
successful export, use `act_on_build_computer` to open the saved file in an
available GUI text editor or viewer and inspect its actual representation
without changing it. Use the visible saved content and the task's edit to

as `is "44", not "1"`. If the file cannot be inspected or expressed by a
supported check, report the limitation instead of guessing a check.

### Read a binary file with a reader
When the draft notes `unreadable_view` on a binary document, add a reader to
the task: the app's own headless command, which REA runs in the computer on a
private copy of the file, and whose output a check reads instead of the file.
Write it in the app's scripting mode, print each fact on a line starting
with `REA ` (with the space), and name the copy `{file}`:
- GIMP `.xcf`, layer names, as `lines`:
```json
{
"id": "layers",
"file": "Documents/poster.xcf",
"argv": ["gimp-console-2.10", "-i", "-d", "-f", "-b", "-"],
"stdin": "(let ((image (car (gimp-file-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE \"{file}\" \"{file}\")))) (for-each (lambda (layer) (display \"\\nREA layer \") (display (car (gimp-item-get-name layer)))) (vector->list (cadr (gimp-image-get-layers image)))) (newline))\n(gimp-quit 0)\n",
"output": "lines"
}
```
checked with `{"kind": "lines_present", "file": "Documents/poster.xcf", "reader": "layers", "lines": ["layer Summer Sale"]}`.
Script-Fu's prompt `ts> ` starts a line, so print a newline before each
marked line, as `\nREA` does. A text layer's text is
`(car (gimp-text-layer-get-text layer))`.
- Blender `.blend`, objects with their type and location, as `json`:
```json
{
"id": "objects",
"file": "Documents/scene.blend",
"argv": [
"blender",
"-b",
"--factory-startup",
"{file}",
"--python-expr",
"import bpy, json; print('REA ' + json.dumps({o.name: {'type': o.type, 'location': [round(v, 4) for v in o.location]} for o in bpy.data.objects}, sort_keys=True))"
],
"output": "json"
}
```
checked with `{"kind": "value_equals", "file": "Documents/scene.blend", "reader": "objects", "pointer": "/Crate/location/0", "value": 2, "tolerance": 0.001}`.
Print every value a check compares as a number or string a check can
name, rounded where the app stores floats.
Blender 4 shows its Quick Setup splash at every launch until its
preferences are saved: with `.config/blender` in `state_paths`, confirm
Quick Setup with Continue, save the preferences (Edit → Preferences, then
Save Preferences in the menu at its bottom left), and read a probe
checkpoint's `changed_files` for `.config/blender/4.0/config/userpref.blend`
before `seed`, so solves start on the scene. Blender often takes the first click on a
menu or a dialog's button only to focus it: click again.
- A format LibreOffice opens but REA cannot read, such as a legacy `.xls`,
converted with `--convert-to`:
```json
{
"id": "cells",
"file": "Documents/budget.xls",
"argv": [
"sh",
"-c",
"soffice --headless --convert-to csv --outdir out \"$1\" >/dev/null && sed 's/^/REA /' out/*.csv",
"sh",
"{file}"
],
"output": "lines",
"timeout_s": 120
}
```
Pass `{file}` to `sh -c` as an argument, as here, rather than inside the
script.
The reader runs without the display, in a fresh home with the app's default
settings, so use the app's headless or batch mode; set `display: true` only
for an app that has none. It must exit 0 within `timeout_s` (60 s by
default, at most 300) and print at most 1 MiB. Pick facts the change sets and
the near miss gets wrong, such as a name or a number, not the app's whole
output.
Give the task the reader in `readers`, and each check through it `reader`
and the reader's `file`. `json` readers serve `value_equals`, `value_absent`
and `member_count`; `lines` readers `lines_present`, `lines_absent` and
`line_count`. The export runs the reader in the build computer on the seed
and the end: when a check through it fails on the end, the refusal shows
what the reader printed, and a reader that fails shows its error and the end
of its stderr. Fix the reader or the check from that and export again.
### Judge the screen
Only when no file shows the change, as when the draft notes `no_change`
because the app keeps its state on screen, write the task's checks as
screen judges: `{"id": "shown", "kind": "screen_judge", "question": "Does the
calculator's display show 8.568?"}`. A model, the judge, answers the question
on a screenshot three times, and the check passes when most answers are yes.
- REA keeps a screenshot at each checkpoint. Mark `seed` with the screen
showing the state before the task, where the answer is no, and `end` with
the change showing, where it is yes: the bundle ships both as the judge's
examples.
- Ask about what the change makes visible, with exact values, so the near
miss is a no: a result, a label, a selected item. Avoid what a window
moved or a cursor blinking can change.
- The prompt asks to leave the result showing, since the judge sees only
the screen when the agent stops.
- A task with screen judges holds only screen judges and no readers. The
export refuses one when a file shows the change, and checks none of its
questions: the witness does, running the bundle's own judge with the
runner's model endpoint (`LITELLM_BASE_URL` and `LITELLM_API_KEY`, or
`[model]` in `.agentenv/config.toml`) on a fresh screenshot at each stage.
Without an endpoint the witness's check fails: say what to set and stop.
- The judge's model is `[model.roles] judge`, else `[model] default`, else
`anthropic/claude-sonnet-5-5`. `agent-env run --judge-model` does not

still start fine yet refuse every save when a lock was seeded, so close the
document before `seed` where the app lets you (apps other than LibreOffice,
such as Rosegarden, also write `.~lock.<name>#` and autosaves beside a
document, and closing it covers them too), and treat "file is locked"
on a save in the witness as a seeded lock: delete it from the bundle's seed
and witness again in a new computer. In LibreOffice, own the profile
(`state_paths: [".config/libreoffice"]`) for a clean boot, and close the
document before `seed`, then reopen it from Recent Documents to make the
change: the export also leaves out the recovery list LibreOffice writes while
a document is open, which would start the bundle into document recovery. A
limitation naming `~/.config/dconf/user` as unread means the app's dconf
settings, such as a first-run tip you turned off, are not seeded: capture

# Firmware and raw images
## Firmware regions and extraction
Use `inspect_firmware_regions` when advertised. Use `extract_firmware` when
extraction is requested, with a caller-selected new absolute output directory.
These tools use caller-supplied Binwalk/Unblob on Linux; see the
[firmware guide](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/guides/firmware/firmware-analysis.md).
## Headerless raw images and firmware containers
For other headerless images (embedded firmware without ELF/Mach-O/PE/MZ
headers), open with `format: "raw-binary"`, `architecture` (`x86`, `x86_64`,
`arm`, `arm64`, `6502`, or `m68k`), and `entry_point` (`0x` hex). File offset 0 is mapped at
that address. Hopper and IDA refuse this interpretation; Ghidra uses
`BinaryLoader` with a generic language: big-endian for `m68k`, little-endian
otherwise. Big-endian ARM, Thumb-only, and Cortex-M variants are unsupported.
`6502` selects NMOS 6502; the entry and complete file mapping must fit within
`0x0000..0xffff`. 65C02, 65816, cartridge containers, bank switching, and mapper
semantics are unsupported. `m68k` requires an even entry and decodes the 68040
superset of the 68000 family; Amiga/Atari containers and vector-table entry
discovery are unsupported. Windows Ghidra P0 admits raw images only for `6502`. See [raw binary guide](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/providers/raw-binary.md).
Intel HEX, S-record, UF2 and DfuSe files are containers, not raw images:
`inspect_artifact` lists address regions (UF2 per familyID, DfuSe per element
with its alternate setting), and `extract_artifact` writes each region. Open an
extracted region as `raw-binary` with its start address as `entry_point`. UF2
numbering gaps leave coverage unknown; a DfuSe suffix CRC mismatch follows
`integrity_policy`. See [UF2 and DfuSe](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/uf2-dfuse.md).
## ESP images
For an ESP32-family app or bootloader image, `open_binary` then
`inspect_artifact` with `detail: "summary"`. `root_format_metadata` holds the
observed `header` and `descriptor` (its `kind` is the app or bootloader role)
and the derived `chip`, `checksum`, `appended_sha256` and
`undescribed_trailing` ranges. Segment rows (`segment-NN.bin`) carry
`load_addr`, `classification` (`mapped`, `loaded`, `not-loaded` or `unknown`,
per ESP-IDF `should_map`/`should_load`; RAM ranges are not checked) and
`source_location`; select them with `inspect_analysis_view` and
`logical_paths`. Signature blocks are `unverified`; `public_key_sha256`
matches eFuse key digests.
Unknown `source_coverage` means truncation or undescribed trailing bytes, such
as the flash segments of a `--ram-only-header` image; do not infer absence
from it. Erased flash is described. Integrity mismatches are facts, not
refusals. ESP8266 images are refused, and flash-encrypted images are not
recognized. Segments are not disassembled, and RISC-V or Xtensa segments
cannot be opened as raw-binary. See
[ESP images](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/esp-image.md).
## ESP flash images
A whole-flash dump opens as `esp-flash-image`. `root_format_metadata` holds
`partition_table` (its `method`: `default`, `caller` or a derived
`scan`), `bootloader` and `apps` ESP image facts, the `otadata` records,
`partitions_outside_dump` and `boot_selection`. Every table has a
`boot_selection`: its `basis` names the bootloader's branch (`no-otadata`
without otadata, `none` when the bootloader rejects the table, `unknown`
when a record is missing), and it lists its `assumptions`;
`running_partition` is always `unknown`. Each image names its entry
`path`. With `detail: "summary"` the root kind is `esp-flash-image-summary`
and each image is a compact `summary` (chip, entry point, segment count,
classified load ranges, signature block count, descriptor identity,
integrity); complete detail keeps every segment. Partition rows
(`partitions/<label>.bin`) carry the declared `type`, `subtype`, names,
`flash_address`, `size` and flags; `encrypted` is a storage flag, not
proof of ciphertext. `written_offset`/`written_end` bound the bytes that
are not erased: an app slot whose facts say `erased` can still hold an older
image, and a limitation says so. For a dump read from another flash address, call
`open_binary` with `format: "esp-flash-image"` and `flash_offset`; an
`esp-image` whose `flash_dump` is set names that offset in a next probe; a
relocated table can be named with `partition_table_offset`. No table found
means unknown, often flash encryption. Extraction writes `nvs_keys` as
ordinary data. See
[ESP flash images](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/esp-flash-image.md).

## Go build metadata
Use `inspect_go_binary` for an explicit local ELF, PE or Mach-O (universal
files need `architecture`) when the
question concerns the embedded compiler version, module/dependency versions,
local replacements, build settings, or static Go string literals packed without
NUL terminators. Pass `include_string_literals: true`
(`--include-string-literals`, optional `max_string_literals` /
`--max-string-literals`) to recover bounded inferred word-aligned `(ptr, len)`
UTF-8 string slices from read-only data and page them through `go`
`string_literals` views. No `open_binary`, Go installation or
target execution is required. The CLI equivalent is `inspect-go-binary PATH`.
Preserve artifact SHA-256, original file ranges, framed module bytes and every
unparsed module-text line. A missing record is an unknown, not proof of a
non-Go binary; observed metadata does not authenticate its claims, and static
`(ptr, len)` string recovery excludes compiler-inlined stack/immediate strings
without proving runtime reachability. Function,
source and type recovery remain a separate native-analysis question.
## Model files
Use `inspect_model_artifact` (`inspect-model-artifact PATH`) for local GGUF v2/v3
and safetensors declarations without a model runtime. Header-only mode does not
read weights or establish full-file identity. `hash: "full"` explicitly streams
all bytes. Retained `model-artifact` views page `metadata`, `tensors` and derived
`types`, with exact batch filters and selected fields. Arrays retain typed counts
and eight-element previews; omitted values, unknown types and runtime behavior
stay explicit. See [model files](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/model-artifacts.md).
## IL2CPP metadata
Use `inspect_il2cpp_metadata` for an explicit local Unity `global-metadata.dat`
(versions 24, 27, 29, 31 and 39) when the question concerns assembly images,
names, member owners, string literals, namespaces or index ranges. No `open_binary`, Unity installation or target
execution is required. The CLI equivalent is `inspect-il2cpp-metadata PATH`.
MCP defaults to counts with complete retained Evidence. Query `sections`,
`images`, `types`, `methods`, `fields`, `properties`, `events`, `parameters` or
`string_literals` through `inspect_analysis_view`; use exact names,
batch indices and selected fields. Row indices are scoped by artifact SHA-256
and collection; page offsets count filtered matches. Parameters support batch
`method_indices` to read one method's parameters directly. Historical reports
without member collections retain unknown counts rather than empty inventories. Preserve
artifact SHA-256 and index widths. Unrecognized magic may mean encryption and
is unsupported, not decrypted. Linking names to `GameAssembly` or
`UnityFramework` code addresses remains a separate native-analysis question.
See [IL2CPP metadata](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/il2cpp-metadata.md).
## Rust dependency metadata
Use `inspect_rust_binary` for an explicit local ELF, PE, or Mach-O (universal
files need `architecture`) when
the question concerns the cargo-auditable crate list embedded in `.dep-v0`
(Mach-O: `__DATA,.dep-v0`). No `open_binary`, Rust installation, or target
execution is required. The CLI equivalent is `inspect-rust-binary PATH`.
Preserve artifact SHA-256, package order, dependency indices, and the section
file range. A missing section is null metadata, not proof the binary has no
dependencies. An omitted package kind stays null. A rustc commit hash is
inferred from a read-only `/rustc/<40-hex>/` path and does not by itself
identify the compiler. See [Rust binaries](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/rust-binaries.md).
## PE Authenticode certificate tables
Use `inspect_pe_certificates` for an explicit local PE32/PE32+ image when the
question concerns the Authenticode certificate table, WIN_CERTIFICATE types, or
embedded PKCS#7 signer and X.509 identity fields. No `open_binary`, Windows SDK,
or target execution is required. The CLI equivalent is
`inspect-pe-certificates PATH`. Preserve artifact SHA-256, table file ranges,
payload hashes, original validity-time spellings, and
`subject_key_identifier_hex` when the signer uses that form. A missing
`IMAGE_DIRECTORY_ENTRY_SECURITY` directory is observed absence of that table,
not proof the image is unsigned in every catalog or overlay sense. Signatures,
chains, timestamps, and Authenticode digest coverage remain unobserved. See
[PE Authenticode certificate tables](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/pe-certificates.md).
## PE import and delay-load tables
Use `inspect_pe_imports` for an explicit local PE32/PE32+ image when the
question concerns imported DLL and function names, ordinals, delay-load
descriptors, or the pefile import hash. No `open_binary`, Windows SDK, or
target execution is required. The CLI equivalent is `inspect-pe-imports PATH`.
Preserve artifact SHA-256, directory file ranges, original DLL spellings, and
ILT/IAT RVAs. A missing `IMAGE_DIRECTORY_ENTRY_IMPORT` directory is observed
absence of that table, not proof the image never imported APIs through another
table or overlay. Bound snapshots, loaded IAT contents, and export-forward
resolution remain unobserved. See
[PE import and delay-load tables](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/pe-imports.md).
## PE TLS callbacks and load configuration
Use `inspect_pe_load_config` for an explicit local PE32/PE32+ image when the
question concerns code that runs before the entry point through TLS callbacks,
or the security cookie, SafeSEH, CFG, EH-continuation and XFG declarations in
the load configuration. No `open_binary`, Windows SDK, or target execution is
required. The CLI equivalent is `inspect-pe-load-config PATH`. Preserve artifact
SHA-256, directory and callback-array file ranges, and callback VAs as
hexadecimal strings. Fields outside the declared `Size` are `null`. Guard-flag
mitigations carry `evidence_kind: "inferred"`; enforcement remains unobserved.
See
[PE TLS callbacks and load configuration](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/pe-load-config.md).
## Binary hardening
Use `inspect_binary_hardening` for an explicit local ELF, PE, or Mach-O file
when the question concerns PIE or ASLR, NX, RELRO, stack-protector or FORTIFY
signs, control-flow flags, or stripped state. No `open_binary`, pwntools, or
target execution is required. The CLI equivalent is
`inspect-binary-hardening PATH`. Universal Mach-O files return one image per
slice. A missing import is `unknown`, not proof the protection was omitted.
Authenticode and Mach-O code-signature rows report presence, not validity.
`hardened_runtime` stays unknown and names `inspect_signature`. See
[binary hardening](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/binary-hardening.md).
## ELF note tables
Use `inspect_elf_notes` for an explicit local ELF32/ELF64 image when the
question concerns PT_NOTE/SHT_NOTE owners, GNU build-id, or GNU ABI-tag
fields. No `open_binary` or target execution is required. The CLI equivalent
is `inspect-elf-notes PATH`. Preserve artifact SHA-256, table file ranges,
descriptor hashes, and original owner spellings. A missing table is observed
absence of those declarations, not proof the image never carried notes in
another container. See
[ELF note tables](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/elf-notes.md).
## Apple IPS crash reports
Use `inspect_apple_ips` for an explicit local Apple `.ips` file when the
question concerns crash metadata, exception and termination facts, threads,
usedImages, lossless registers, or documented crash classes. No `open_binary`,
Xcode, atos, or target execution is required. The CLI equivalent is
`inspect-apple-ips PATH`. Preserve artifact SHA-256, `bug_type` as a string,
uppercase image UUIDs, and integer literals that exceed IEEE-754 range. Only
`bug_type` `"309"` yields a crash body; other DiagnosticReports types return
no crash result. Opened Mach-O and dSYM UUID joins remain unobserved. See
[Apple IPS crash reports](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/apple-ips.md).
## Linux kernel modules
Use `inspect_kernel_module` for an explicit local ELF32/ELF64 relocatable
object when the question concerns `.modinfo` license, vermagic, alias,
depends, or parm strings, the `__versions` symbol CRCs, or an appended module
signature trailer. No `open_binary`, Linux host, or `modinfo` program is
required. The CLI equivalent is `inspect-kernel-module PATH`. Preserve
artifact SHA-256, key order, duplicate keys, CRC hex, and section file ranges.
A missing section is observed absence when section names are known, not proof
the module never carried that metadata. `.gnu.linkonce.this_module` is reported
as present or absent; `struct module` stays unknown because its layout changes
with the kernel version. `__ksymtab` records are not decoded. The PKCS#7 range
and its SHA-256 are observed; certificate, signer, and digest coverage remain
unvalidated. An absent trailer is not proof the module is unsigned in another
container. gzip, xz, and zstd whole-file containers are unsupported and name
`external_decompression` as the next probe: use an external codec utility to
decompress into a separate file, then call `inspect_kernel_module` on that file. See
[Linux kernel modules](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/kernel-modules.md).
## CPython pyc files
Use `inspect_python_pyc` for an explicit local CPython 3.7–3.13 `.pyc` when the
question concerns the header magic, PEP 552 source hash or timestamp, nested
code-object names, or bytecode identity. No `open_binary`, Python installation,
or target execution is required. The CLI equivalent is `inspect-python-pyc PATH`.
Preserve artifact SHA-256, the 16-byte header fields, nested code names, and
bytecode SHA-256. Bytecode is not decompiled. A decoded header does not prove
the matching `.py` is present. See [CPython pyc inspection](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/python-pyc.md).
## Erlang BEAM files
Use `inspect_erlang_beam` for an explicit local `FOR1`/`BEAM` file when the
question concerns IFF chunks, atom names, exports, imports, lambdas, or the
Code header. No `open_binary`, Erlang installation, or bytecode execution is
required. The CLI equivalent is `inspect-erlang-beam PATH`. Preserve artifact
SHA-256, chunk file ranges, 1-based atom indices, and original atom spellings.
Missing optional tables stay null. For a few facts, use `detail: "summary"` with
a `beam` view selecting a collection, exact names/indices and fields; read later
pages from `parent_evidence_id` or the complete Evidence bundle. Same-name
exports retain every arity and original atom index. CLI summary delivery requires
`--evidence_output`. Null table counts remain distinct from decoded empty tables. See
[Erlang BEAM files](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/erlang-beam.md).
## SQLite snapshots
Use `inspect_sqlite_database` with an explicit local database snapshot for its
schema and optional rows from one exact ordinary table. It requires Node.js
24.x >=24.15 or 26+ with the native `DatabaseSync.limits` API. It also consumes the
existing sibling `-wal`; retain both original digests when citing its result.
Default output is a compact inventory; a selected table expands only its own
schema and samples 20 rows. Select `columns` to avoid irrelevant or large cells,
and request `schema_scope: "database"` only for complete schema details.
Choose `row_limit` when a finite sample is useful and keep truncation and
unspecified row order explicit. Virtual tables, shadow tables and views are
schema facts, not row-read targets. REA inspects private copies and leaves
the source files untouched; obtain a coherent quiescent database/WAL snapshot
before inspection. See [SQLite snapshots](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/guides/data/sqlite-databases.md).
## Recorded Linux crashes
Use `inspect_recorded_crash` with an explicit Linux x86-64 ELF core path to
inspect historical thread registers, signals, raw notes and original file
ranges. It is independent of the active disassembler target. Source-bound
register values and note bytes are observations; missing notes, signal-thread
association and current executable/library identity remain unknown. PIDs are
historical metadata and never authorize live attach or control.
The optional `include_debugger_context` facet adds mapping candidates through
caller-supplied GDB/pwndbg in an owned core-only session. Display names do not
establish current file identity; zero reported flags leave permissions unknown.
Requested unavailable context fails with setup guidance. See
[recorded crashes](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/guides/native/recorded-crashes.md)
for exact upstream profiles, bounds and verification coverage.
## Offline ELF layout
Use `inspect_binary_layout` with an explicit local ELF path for file-backed
sections, symbols, relocations, linkage names, and static mitigation inferences
without opening a disassembler target. When that complete record is already
retained, call `inspect_analysis_view` for a summary, mitigations or linkage
facet, one section or symbol, or a stable page. Do not re-run the decoder to
read a single object.
## Offline WASM
Use `inspect_wasm_artifact` with caller-supplied WABT for selected local bytes.
For counts, validation and WAT identity, select `detail: "summary"` on the first
MCP call. The complete original Evidence stays retained; use
`normalized_result.parent_evidence_id` for exact exports or text pages. Omitted
or complete detail keeps the existing complete result.
For a completed result, use `inspect_analysis_view` with its reported retained
reference for a summary or `view: {kind: "wasm", facet: "exports", offset: 0, limit: 32}`.
Facets also include sections, imports, candidates, glue, WAT, headers, details
and tool profile. Text offsets count UTF-16 code units; follow `next_offset`.
The complete source remains retained after an oversized MCP reply. No target
execution or network acquisition is implied, and WAT is decoded representation.
For exact core-module import/export differences, use `compare_wasm_interfaces`
with two complete inspection Evidence records (or current-session retained
references) and explicit scope. Preserve unknown types/duplicate names; static
interface equality is not runtime compatibility. CLI accepts complete inline
Evidence in `rea compare-wasm-interfaces input.json --json`, or exact references
with `--evidence-bundle /absolute/path/evidence.json`. Use the complete parent
ID when the inspection returned a summary.
## Offline APK signatures
Use `inspect_apk_signature` for a selected local APK/ZIP/AAB. Default MCP summaries
retain complete Evidence. Select `view.collection: signers/digests/lineage`,
with scheme or ID batches, fields and paging; use `inspect_analysis_view` kind
`apk-signature` for retained reads after deletion. IDs retain artifact/scheme
scope and signer links; `fields: []` keeps identity links. Empty pages preserve
partial decoding reasons and unknown authenticity. CLI compact delivery needs
`--evidence_output` to preserve the complete parent.
It reads the APK
Signing Block (v2/v3/v3.1) and v1 `META-INF` signing without executing anything,
and reports each signer's certificate facts (for v1, the certificate the PKCS#7
block's SignerInfo names), the declared v3 rotation lineage,
the declared source-stamp certificate and, for SHA-256/SHA-512 digests, whether
the declared content digest matches the current bytes. That match is not a
signature verification: anyone who changes the bytes can recompute the digest.
`posture` summarises v1-only signing (which cannot tell a v1-only APK from one
whose v2/v3 block was removed), observed signer agreement across schemes,
whether the v1 signer equals the block-scheme signer (`false` is notable),
whether every differing signer appears in a declared (unverified) rotation
lineage, and the strongest scheme.
It never claims authenticity: no signature or lineage is cryptographically
verified.
## Offline PE resource inventory
Use `inspect_pe_resources` with an absolute `path`, or
`rea inspect-pe-resources ./selected.exe --json`, for portable PE32/PE32+
resource inspection without opening a native target. Preserve returned Evidence:
type/name/language IDs and UTF-16 names, original directory/data/payload ranges,
code pages, payload hashes and static icon-group references. Same-language icon
resolution is explicit; missing references and size mismatch remain visible.
Other payloads are opaque, and this operation does not decode images or simulate
Windows resource loading. Consult the budgets and supported tree profile in
[offline binary diagnostics](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/guides/native/binary-diagnostics.md).
## Offline PE and ELF export tables
Use `inspect_native_exports` with an absolute `path`, or
`rea inspect-native-exports ./libexample.so --json`, to read a PE export
directory or ELF dynamic symbol table on any host without opening a native
target. Ordinal-only, forwarded and hidden-version exports stay distinct;
partial or unsupported coverage means the inventory is incomplete, not that
exports are absent. Use `inspect_macho` for Mach-O. See
[offline binary diagnostics](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/guides/native/binary-diagnostics.md).

## Go build metadata
Use `inspect_go_binary` for an explicit local ELF, PE or Mach-O (universal
files need `architecture`) when the
question concerns the embedded compiler version, module/dependency versions,
local replacements, build settings, or static Go string literals packed without
NUL terminators. Pass `include_string_literals: true`
(`--include-string-literals`, optional `max_string_literals` /
`--max-string-literals`) to recover bounded inferred word-aligned `(ptr, len)`
UTF-8 string slices from read-only data and page them through `go`
`string_literals` views. No `open_binary`, Go installation or
target execution is required. The CLI equivalent is `inspect-go-binary PATH`.
Preserve artifact SHA-256, original file ranges, framed module bytes and every
unparsed module-text line. A missing record is an unknown, not proof of a
non-Go binary; observed metadata does not authenticate its claims, and static
`(ptr, len)` string recovery excludes compiler-inlined stack/immediate strings
without proving runtime reachability. Function,
source and type recovery remain a separate native-analysis question.
## Model files
Use `inspect_model_artifact` (`inspect-model-artifact PATH`) for local GGUF v2/v3
and safetensors declarations without a model runtime. Header-only mode does not
read weights or establish full-file identity. `hash: "full"` explicitly streams
all bytes. Retained `model-artifact` views page `metadata`, `tensors` and derived
`types`, with exact batch filters and selected fields. Arrays retain typed counts
and eight-element previews; omitted values, unknown types and runtime behavior
stay explicit. See [model files](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/model-artifacts.md).
## IL2CPP metadata
Use `inspect_il2cpp_metadata` for an explicit local Unity `global-metadata.dat`
(versions 24, 27, 29, 31 and 39) when the question concerns assembly images,
names, member owners, string literals, namespaces or index ranges. No `open_binary`, Unity installation or target
execution is required. The CLI equivalent is `inspect-il2cpp-metadata PATH`.
MCP defaults to counts with complete retained Evidence. Query `sections`,
`images`, `types`, `methods`, `fields`, `properties`, `events`, `parameters` or
`string_literals` through `inspect_analysis_view`; use exact names,
batch indices and selected fields. Row indices are scoped by artifact SHA-256
and collection; page offsets count filtered matches. Parameters support batch
`method_indices` to read one method's parameters directly. Historical reports
without member collections retain unknown counts rather than empty inventories. Preserve
artifact SHA-256 and index widths. Unrecognized magic may mean encryption and
is unsupported, not decrypted. Linking names to `GameAssembly` or
`UnityFramework` code addresses remains a separate native-analysis question.
See [IL2CPP metadata](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/il2cpp-metadata.md).
## Rust dependency metadata
Use `inspect_rust_binary` for an explicit local ELF, PE, or Mach-O (universal
files need `architecture`) when
the question concerns the cargo-auditable crate list embedded in `.dep-v0`
(Mach-O: `__DATA,.dep-v0`). No `open_binary`, Rust installation, or target
execution is required. The CLI equivalent is `inspect-rust-binary PATH`.
Preserve artifact SHA-256, package order, dependency indices, and the section
file range. A missing section is null metadata, not proof the binary has no
dependencies. An omitted package kind stays null. A rustc commit hash is
inferred from a read-only `/rustc/<40-hex>/` path and does not by itself
identify the compiler. See [Rust binaries](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/rust-binaries.md).
## PE Authenticode certificate tables
Use `inspect_pe_certificates` for an explicit local PE32/PE32+ image when the
question concerns the Authenticode certificate table, WIN_CERTIFICATE types, or
embedded PKCS#7 signer and X.509 identity fields. No `open_binary`, Windows SDK,
or target execution is required. The CLI equivalent is
`inspect-pe-certificates PATH`. Preserve artifact SHA-256, table file ranges,
payload hashes, original validity-time spellings, and
`subject_key_identifier_hex` when the signer uses that form. A missing
`IMAGE_DIRECTORY_ENTRY_SECURITY` directory is observed absence of that table,
not proof the image is unsigned in every catalog or overlay sense. Signatures,
chains, timestamps, and Authenticode digest coverage remain unobserved. See
[PE Authenticode certificate tables](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/pe-certificates.md).
## PE import and delay-load tables
Use `inspect_pe_imports` for an explicit local PE32/PE32+ image when the
question concerns imported DLL and function names, ordinals, delay-load
descriptors, or the pefile import hash. No `open_binary`, Windows SDK, or
target execution is required. The CLI equivalent is `inspect-pe-imports PATH`.
Preserve artifact SHA-256, directory file ranges, original DLL spellings, and
ILT/IAT RVAs. A missing `IMAGE_DIRECTORY_ENTRY_IMPORT` directory is observed
absence of that table, not proof the image never imported APIs through another
table or overlay. Bound snapshots, loaded IAT contents, and export-forward
resolution remain unobserved. See
[PE import and delay-load tables](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/pe-imports.md).
## Windows Shell Link shortcuts
Use `inspect_windows_shortcut` for an explicit local `.lnk` file when the
question concerns the recorded target path, arguments, working directory, icon
location, volume serial, network share names, ExtraData blocks, or Tracker
droid identifiers. No `open_binary`, Windows SDK, COM, or target execution is
required. The CLI equivalent is `inspect-windows-shortcut PATH`. Preserve
artifact SHA-256, FILETIME raw decimals, IDList type bytes, and ExtraData
signatures. Unknown IDList items and ExtraData signatures remain raw with
SHA-256; they are not guessed. Version-1 UUID MAC and timestamp values are
labelled derived. A missing optional section is observed absence of that
structure. See
[Windows Shell Link shortcuts](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/guides/native/windows-shortcut.md).
## PE TLS callbacks and load configuration
Use `inspect_pe_load_config` for an explicit local PE32/PE32+ image when the
question concerns code that runs before the entry point through TLS callbacks,
or the security cookie, SafeSEH, CFG, EH-continuation and XFG declarations in
the load configuration. No `open_binary`, Windows SDK, or target execution is
required. The CLI equivalent is `inspect-pe-load-config PATH`. Preserve artifact
SHA-256, directory and callback-array file ranges, and callback VAs as
hexadecimal strings. Fields outside the declared `Size` are `null`. Guard-flag
mitigations carry `evidence_kind: "inferred"`; enforcement remains unobserved.
See
[PE TLS callbacks and load configuration](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/pe-load-config.md).
## Binary hardening
Use `inspect_binary_hardening` for an explicit local ELF, PE, or Mach-O file
when the question concerns PIE or ASLR, NX, RELRO, stack-protector or FORTIFY
signs, control-flow flags, or stripped state. No `open_binary`, pwntools, or
target execution is required. The CLI equivalent is
`inspect-binary-hardening PATH`. Universal Mach-O files return one image per
slice. A missing import is `unknown`, not proof the protection was omitted.
Authenticode and Mach-O code-signature rows report presence, not validity.
`hardened_runtime` stays unknown and names `inspect_signature`. See
[binary hardening](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/binary-hardening.md).
## ELF note tables
Use `inspect_elf_notes` for an explicit local ELF32/ELF64 image when the
question concerns PT_NOTE/SHT_NOTE owners, GNU build-id, or GNU ABI-tag
fields. No `open_binary` or target execution is required. The CLI equivalent
is `inspect-elf-notes PATH`. Preserve artifact SHA-256, table file ranges,
descriptor hashes, and original owner spellings. A missing table is observed
absence of those declarations, not proof the image never carried notes in
another container. See
[ELF note tables](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/elf-notes.md).
## ELF and Mach-O initializer functions
Use `inspect_native_initializers` for an explicit local ELF or Mach-O image
when the question is which functions run before `main` or at exit: ELF
`DT_PREINIT_ARRAY`, `DT_INIT`, `DT_INIT_ARRAY`, `DT_FINI`, `DT_FINI_ARRAY` and
legacy `.ctors`/`.dtors`, or Mach-O `__mod_init_func`, `__init_offsets` and
`__mod_term_func`. Pass `architecture` for a universal Mach-O. The CLI
equivalent is `inspect-native-initializers PATH`. PIE slots are resolved
through RELATIVE, RELR and section relocations, and Mach-O slots through
chained fixups. Keep each entry's `resolution`: `unresolved` means the value was
not established, and `unresolved_import` names an external symbol. Page with
`offset` and `limit`. See
[ELF and Mach-O initializer functions](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/guides/native/native-initializers.md).
## ELF unwind function ranges
Use `inspect_elf_unwind_ranges` for an explicit local ELF32/ELF64 image when
the question concerns function starts and lengths that survive `strip`, which
functions have an LSDA, or which ranges have no exact symbol. No
`open_binary` or target execution is required. The CLI equivalent is
`inspect-elf-unwind-ranges PATH`. Preserve artifact SHA-256, FDE start and
end, containing section, exact symbol name, CIE index, LSDA, and personality.
Page later ranges with `offset` and `limit`. A missing `.eh_frame` is
observed absence of that declaration and of `PT_GNU_EH_FRAME`, not proof the
image has no functions. Header disagreement is a limitation and does not drop
decoded ranges. `.debug_frame` is reported present or absent and is not
decoded. CFA instructions are counted and not evaluated. Indirect EH pointers
are not dereferenced. See
[ELF unwind function ranges](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/guides/native/elf-unwind-ranges.md).
## Apple IPS crash reports
Use `inspect_apple_ips` for an explicit local Apple `.ips` file when the
question concerns crash metadata, exception and termination facts, threads,
usedImages, lossless registers, or documented crash classes. No `open_binary`,
Xcode, atos, or target execution is required. The CLI equivalent is
`inspect-apple-ips PATH`. Preserve artifact SHA-256, `bug_type` as a string,
uppercase image UUIDs, and integer literals that exceed IEEE-754 range. Only
`bug_type` `"309"` yields a crash body; other DiagnosticReports types return
no crash result. Opened Mach-O and dSYM UUID joins remain unobserved. See
[Apple IPS crash reports](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/apple-ips.md).
## Linux kernel modules
Use `inspect_kernel_module` for an explicit local ELF32/ELF64 relocatable
object when the question concerns `.modinfo` license, vermagic, alias,
depends, or parm strings, the `__versions` symbol CRCs, or an appended module
signature trailer. No `open_binary`, Linux host, or `modinfo` program is
required. The CLI equivalent is `inspect-kernel-module PATH`. Preserve
artifact SHA-256, key order, duplicate keys, CRC hex, and section file ranges.
A missing section is observed absence when section names are known, not proof
the module never carried that metadata. `.gnu.linkonce.this_module` is reported
as present or absent; `struct module` stays unknown because its layout changes
with the kernel version. `__ksymtab` records are not decoded. The PKCS#7 range
and its SHA-256 are observed; certificate, signer, and digest coverage remain
unvalidated. An absent trailer is not proof the module is unsigned in another
container. gzip, xz, and zstd whole-file containers are unsupported and name
`external_decompression` as the next probe: use an external codec utility to
decompress into a separate file, then call `inspect_kernel_module` on that file. See
[Linux kernel modules](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/kernel-modules.md).
## Linux kernel build config
Use `inspect_kernel_build_config` for an explicit local kernel image (`vmlinux`
ELF, raw arm64 `Image`, x86 `bzImage`/`zImage`, or `configs.ko`) when the
question is which kernel version it is or how it was configured. No
`open_binary`, Linux host, or `extract-ikconfig` is required. The CLI
equivalent is `inspect-kernel-build-config PATH`; pass `name` for one exact
`CONFIG_*` option and `offset`/`limit` to page the rest. Preserve the banner
version, builder, and compiler, the config SHA-256 and option count, and each
entry's value kind (`y`, `m`, `string`, `number`, `not_set`). A config is
accepted only when `IKCFG_ST` is immediately followed by a valid gzip member
and `IKCFG_ED`, so an ordinary `IKCFG_ST` string is not a config. Offsets with
`space: "inflated_payload"` are positions in an inflated bzImage payload, not
file offsets. An absent config describes only the searched bytes; the kernel
may have been built without `CONFIG_IKCONFIG` or with it as a module. Truncated
payloads are incomplete, not absent. A framed blob that does not decode, has a
bad CRC, or holds non-config text is `malformed`, not absent. xz, lz4, lzma, zstd, bzip2, and lzo
payloads are unsupported and name `external_decompression`: decompress with an
external utility, then call `inspect_kernel_build_config` on the result. See
[Linux kernel build config](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/guides/native/kernel-build-config.md).
## CPython pyc files
Use `inspect_python_pyc` for an explicit local CPython 3.7–3.13 `.pyc` when the
question concerns the header magic, PEP 552 source hash or timestamp, nested
code-object names, or bytecode identity. No `open_binary`, Python installation,
or target execution is required. The CLI equivalent is `inspect-python-pyc PATH`.
Preserve artifact SHA-256, the 16-byte header fields, nested code names, and
bytecode SHA-256. Bytecode is not decompiled. A decoded header does not prove
the matching `.py` is present. See [CPython pyc inspection](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/python-pyc.md).
## Erlang BEAM files
Use `inspect_erlang_beam` for an explicit local `FOR1`/`BEAM` file when the
question concerns IFF chunks, atom names, exports, imports, lambdas, or the
Code header. No `open_binary`, Erlang installation, or bytecode execution is
required. The CLI equivalent is `inspect-erlang-beam PATH`. Preserve artifact
SHA-256, chunk file ranges, 1-based atom indices, and original atom spellings.
Missing optional tables stay null. For a few facts, use `detail: "summary"` with
a `beam` view selecting a collection, exact names/indices and fields; read later
pages from `parent_evidence_id` or the complete Evidence bundle. Same-name
exports retain every arity and original atom index. CLI summary delivery requires
`--evidence_output`. Null table counts remain distinct from decoded empty tables. See
[Erlang BEAM files](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/erlang-beam.md).
## SQLite snapshots
Use `inspect_sqlite_database` with an explicit local database snapshot for its
schema and optional rows from one exact ordinary table. It requires Node.js
24.x >=24.15 or 26+ with the native `DatabaseSync.limits` API. It also consumes the
existing sibling `-wal`; retain both original digests when citing its result.
Default output is a compact inventory; a selected table expands only its own
schema and samples 20 rows. Select `columns` to avoid irrelevant or large cells,
and request `schema_scope: "database"` only for complete schema details.
Choose `row_limit` when a finite sample is useful and keep truncation and
unspecified row order explicit. Virtual tables, shadow tables and views are
schema facts, not row-read targets. REA inspects private copies and leaves
the source files untouched; obtain a coherent quiescent database/WAL snapshot
before inspection. See [SQLite snapshots](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/guides/data/sqlite-databases.md).
## Recorded Linux crashes
Use `inspect_recorded_crash` with an explicit Linux x86-64 ELF core path to
inspect historical thread registers, signals, raw notes and original file
ranges. It is independent of the active disassembler target. Source-bound
register values and note bytes are observations; missing notes, signal-thread
association and current executable/library identity remain unknown. PIDs are
historical metadata and never authorize live attach or control.
The optional `include_debugger_context` facet adds mapping candidates through
caller-supplied GDB/pwndbg in an owned core-only session. Display names do not
establish current file identity; zero reported flags leave permissions unknown.
Requested unavailable context fails with setup guidance. See
[recorded crashes](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/guides/native/recorded-crashes.md)
for exact upstream profiles, bounds and verification coverage.
## Offline ELF layout
Use `inspect_binary_layout` with an explicit local ELF path for file-backed
sections, symbols, relocations, linkage names, and static mitigation inferences
without opening a disassembler target. When that complete record is already
retained, call `inspect_analysis_view` for a summary, mitigations or linkage
facet, one section or symbol, or a stable page. Do not re-run the decoder to
read a single object.
## Offline WASM
Use `inspect_wasm_artifact` with caller-supplied WABT for selected local bytes.
For counts, validation and WAT identity, select `detail: "summary"` on the first
MCP call. The complete original Evidence stays retained; use
`normalized_result.parent_evidence_id` for exact exports or text pages. Omitted
or complete detail keeps the existing complete result.
For a completed result, use `inspect_analysis_view` with its reported retained
reference for a summary or `view: {kind: "wasm", facet: "exports", offset: 0, limit: 32}`.
Facets also include sections, imports, candidates, glue, WAT, headers, details
and tool profile. Text offsets count UTF-16 code units; follow `next_offset`.
The complete source remains retained after an oversized MCP reply. No target
execution or network acquisition is implied, and WAT is decoded representation.
## Offline APK signatures
Use `inspect_apk_signature` for a selected local APK/ZIP/AAB. Default MCP summaries
retain complete Evidence. Select `view.collection: signers/digests/lineage`,
with scheme or ID batches, fields and paging; use `inspect_analysis_view` kind
`apk-signature` for retained reads after deletion. IDs retain artifact/scheme
scope and signer links; `fields: []` keeps identity links. Empty pages preserve
partial decoding reasons and unknown authenticity. CLI compact delivery needs
`--evidence_output` to preserve the complete parent.
It reads the APK
Signing Block (v2/v3/v3.1) and v1 `META-INF` signing without executing anything,
and reports each signer's certificate facts (for v1, the certificate the PKCS#7
block's SignerInfo names), the declared v3 rotation lineage,
the declared source-stamp certificate and, for SHA-256/SHA-512 digests, whether
the declared content digest matches the current bytes. That match is not a
signature verification: anyone who changes the bytes can recompute the digest.
`posture` summarises v1-only signing (which cannot tell a v1-only APK from one
whose v2/v3 block was removed), observed signer agreement across schemes,
whether the v1 signer equals the block-scheme signer (`false` is notable),
whether every differing signer appears in a declared (unverified) rotation
lineage, and the strongest scheme.
It never claims authenticity: no signature or lineage is cryptographically
verified.

## Packages and extraction
For headerless firmware and address-bearing containers, read
[raw images](firmware-and-raw-images.md#headerless-raw-images-and-firmware-containers).
Use `inspect_artifact` for application bundles, archives, ZIP/APK/IPA/MSIX/AppX,
ASAR, or DMG inputs when the artifact graph and findings help answer the
question. It returns the complete artifact graph inline. Cite graph manifest
IDs when using them.
For an IPA or a macOS `.app`, ZIP, or DMG, pass the inventory Evidence to
`project_apple_application_graph`. It reports application roots and nested
bundles by path convention: app extensions, XPC services, frameworks, login
items, system and driver extensions, and plug-ins. It also lists privileged
helpers, launchd plists, symlinks, and each bundle's `info_plist_path` and
executable candidates. Roles are path conventions, not parsed plists; read the
listed plists with `inspect_plist`.
After `open_binary` on a `.app` or Mach-O, use `trace_dylib_resolution` to see
which file each `@rpath`, `@loader_path` and `@executable_path` load reaches for
every executable in the bundle. It also lists missing or weak loads and earlier
`@rpath` candidates that are absent. Narrow large bundles with `roots` or
`architecture`. System paths stay undetermined because the dyld shared cache
provides them.
Use `extract_artifact` when materialized files from a supported format are needed.
It extracts the active target and accepts optional `integrity_policy`; see the [MCP contracts](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/reference/mcp-contracts.md).
It materializes all regular files into a fresh temporary directory chosen by
REA. Symlinks and encrypted entries are inventory facts, not extractable files.
The result reports the materialized directory; callers do not choose the
destination. No separate permission grant is needed.
For classic iNES cartridges, `open_binary` recognizes the byte signature without
an executable architecture. `inspect_artifact` retains header facts and each
PRG/CHR file unit's offset, length and SHA-256; its nested inventory's
`ines.reconstruction` verifies the actual ordered region bytes against the
whole-file digest. Extraction includes the original header, optional trainer
and uninterpreted trailing bytes. These file units are not mapper/CPU bank
maps. NES 2.0, UNIF, dirty legacy headers and truncated payloads are explicitly
refused. No emulator or 6502 analysis is performed. See the
[iNES guide](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/ines-containers.md).
Native DMG traversal automatically uses a read-only mount on supported macOS
hosts, with an owned temporary mount directory and cleanup. It needs no approval
flag. Unsupported hosts or mount failures remain explicit limitations; do not
claim child inventory when only root identity is available. DMG extraction is
unavailable through `extract_artifact`. To access DMG files on macOS, create a
read-only mount with your own tools, select files from that mount for analysis,
and detach the mount you created when finished. REA's inspection mount is
temporary, not a retained export of the image's contents.
## DOS COM loader interpretation
For headerless DOS COM, explicitly open with `format: "dos-com"` (CLI
`--target-format dos-com`). Inspect the load image before trusting function
analysis: the entry is `0x10100`, file offset zero, with imposed real-mode segment
context. PSP/stack/device state remains unmodeled. See [DOS guide](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/providers/ghidra-dos.md).
Use `inspect_byte_entropy` to triage high- and low-entropy ranges before extraction.
For other headerless images (embedded firmware without ELF/Mach-O/PE/MZ
headers), open with `format: "raw-binary"`, `architecture` (`x86`, `x86_64`,
`arm`, `arm64`, `6502`, or `m68k`), and `entry_point` (`0x` hex). File offset 0 is mapped at
that address. Hopper and IDA refuse this interpretation; Ghidra uses
`BinaryLoader` with a generic language: big-endian for `m68k`, little-endian
otherwise. Big-endian ARM, Thumb-only, and Cortex-M variants are unsupported.
`6502` selects NMOS 6502; the entry and complete file mapping must fit within
`0x0000..0xffff`. 65C02, 65816, cartridge containers, bank switching, and mapper
semantics are unsupported. `m68k` requires an even entry and decodes the 68040
superset of the 68000 family; Amiga/Atari containers and vector-table entry
discovery are unsupported. Windows Ghidra P0 admits raw images only for `6502`. See [raw binary guide](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/providers/raw-binary.md).
Intel HEX, S-record, UF2 and DfuSe files are containers, not raw images:
`inspect_artifact` lists address regions (UF2 per familyID, DfuSe per element
with its alternate setting), and `extract_artifact` writes each region. Open an
extracted region as `raw-binary` with its start address as `entry_point`. UF2
numbering gaps leave coverage unknown; a DfuSe suffix CRC mismatch follows
`integrity_policy`. See [UF2 and DfuSe](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/uf2-dfuse.md).
### Function annotations in Ghidra
## Function annotations in Ghidra
Fresh-import sessions admit annotations; existing-project reuse is read-only.
Use `annotate_native_function` for one function name and/or entry comments, with at least one explicit change. Review its annotation readback and refreshed dossier inline. Changes are atomic; empty comments clear them, omitted fields preserve them. Later MCP calls observe edits. Normal close saves them when owned Program checkpoint mode is enabled; ephemeral mode discards them. CLI `annotate-native-function` follows the same setting when closing after its updated result. Select the [checkpoint workflow](#continue-editable-ghidra-analysis-across-processes) before edits that must survive a later process. Original executable bytes are unchanged; edits invalidate immutable snapshots. Windows P0 does not admit database mutations. For naming only, `set_address_name` / `set_addresses_names` also work with Ghidra: they name function entries or data addresses (primary labels) and return compact per-address success booleans instead of a dossier. Ghidra rejects batch addresses that request the same name or a name another selected address holds; `raw_result.failures` gives each failure's reason.

## Offline PE resource inventory
## Other artifact guides
Use `inspect_pe_resources` with an absolute `path`, or
`rea inspect-pe-resources ./selected.exe --json`, for portable PE32/PE32+
resource inspection without opening a native target. Preserve returned Evidence:
type/name/language IDs and UTF-16 names, original directory/data/payload ranges,
code pages, payload hashes and static icon-group references. Same-language icon
resolution is explicit; missing references and size mismatch remain visible.
Other payloads are opaque, and this operation does not decode images or simulate
Windows resource loading. Consult the budgets and supported tree profile in
[offline binary diagnostics](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/guides/native/binary-diagnostics.md).
Read the owning page for offline formats, containers or firmware. These explicit
anchors preserve older links without creating duplicate searchable sections.
## Offline PE and ELF export tables
Use `inspect_native_exports` with an absolute `path`, or
`rea inspect-native-exports ./libexample.so --json`, to read a PE export
directory or ELF dynamic symbol table on any host without opening a native
target. Ordinal-only, forwarded and hidden-version exports stay distinct;
partial or unsupported coverage means the inventory is incomplete, not that
exports are absent. Use `inspect_macho` for Mach-O. See
[offline binary diagnostics](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/guides/native/binary-diagnostics.md).
For exact core-module import/export differences, use `compare_wasm_interfaces`
with two complete inspection Evidence records (or current-session retained
references) and explicit scope. Preserve unknown types/duplicate names; static
interface equality is not runtime compatibility. CLI accepts complete inline
Evidence in `rea compare-wasm-interfaces input.json --json`, or exact references
with `--evidence-bundle /absolute/path/evidence.json`. Use the complete parent
ID when the inspection returned a summary.
## Godot PCK
For a standalone PCK, `open_binary` then `inspect_artifact` with
`detail: "summary"` retains the complete static inventory. Use the returned
`parent_evidence_id` with `inspect_analysis_view` inventory occurrences filtered
by exact `logical_paths` or `occurrence_ids`, and join `artifact_id` to nodes
filtered by `artifact_ids`. Select only needed fields; identity links remain.
Prefer `inspect-artifact --detail summary --evidence_output PATH` for CLI tasks;
the same CLI discovers embedded packs via their EOF trailer without opening a
native analysis provider. Normal native opening remains unchanged.
Distinguish declared MD5 from observed SHA-256 and graph/page completeness from

UnityFS AssetBundle containers (`.bundle`, `.ab`, YooAsset packages and other
byte-identified files) list `CAB-*` SerializedFiles and `.resS` members with

declaring asset-bundle encryption keep header facts with unknown directory
coverage; LZMA member bytes retain named occurrences with unavailable hashes.
Virtual member offsets are not physical carrier locations. Format 6–8 readers
cache one decoded block and support retained filtered/paged views. No
decryption or SerializedFile object decoding is provided. See
[UnityFS](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/unityfs.md).
WeChat mini-program packages (`.wxapkg` files with `0xBE`/`0xED` marks) list
members with declared names and absolute carrier offsets; member bytes are
stored verbatim. `V1MMWX` PC-client packages report `encrypted` directory
status with unknown coverage and are refused on extraction; no decryption is
attempted. See
[wxapkg](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/wxapkg.md).
U-Boot legacy uImages use the same inspection/extraction workflows. Prefer a
retained summary and selected inventory views for header facts or component

Multi-file components retain their aligned physical ranges; the full payload
is also materialized. Unknown name text retains its original 32 bytes. See
[U-Boot uImage](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/uimage.md).
## ESP images
For an ESP32-family app or bootloader image, `open_binary` then
`inspect_artifact` with `detail: "summary"`. `root_format_metadata` holds the
observed `header` and `descriptor` (its `kind` is the app or bootloader role)
and the derived `chip`, `checksum`, `appended_sha256` and
`undescribed_trailing` ranges. Segment rows (`segment-NN.bin`) carry
`load_addr`, `classification` (`mapped`, `loaded`, `not-loaded` or `unknown`,
per ESP-IDF `should_map`/`should_load`; RAM ranges are not checked) and
`source_location`; select them with `inspect_analysis_view` and
`logical_paths`. Signature blocks are `unverified`; `public_key_sha256`
matches eFuse key digests.
Unknown `source_coverage` means truncation or undescribed trailing bytes, such
as the flash segments of a `--ram-only-header` image; do not infer absence
from it. Erased flash is described. Integrity mismatches are facts, not
refusals. ESP8266 images are refused, and flash-encrypted images are not
recognized. Segments are not disassembled, and RISC-V or Xtensa segments
cannot be opened as raw-binary. See
[ESP images](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/esp-image.md).
## ESP flash images
A whole-flash dump opens as `esp-flash-image`. `root_format_metadata` holds
`partition_table` (its `method`: `default`, `caller` or a derived
`scan`), `bootloader` and `apps` ESP image facts, the `otadata` records,
`partitions_outside_dump` and `boot_selection`. Every table has a
`boot_selection`: its `basis` names the bootloader's branch (`no-otadata`
without otadata, `none` when the bootloader rejects the table, `unknown`
when a record is missing), and it lists its `assumptions`;
`running_partition` is always `unknown`. Each image names its entry
`path`. With `detail: "summary"` the root kind is `esp-flash-image-summary`
and each image is a compact `summary` (chip, entry point, segment count,
classified load ranges, signature block count, descriptor identity,
integrity); complete detail keeps every segment. Partition rows
(`partitions/<label>.bin`) carry the declared `type`, `subtype`, names,
`flash_address`, `size` and flags; `encrypted` is a storage flag, not
proof of ciphertext. `written_offset`/`written_end` bound the bytes that
are not erased: an app slot whose facts say `erased` can still hold an older
image, and a limitation says so. For a dump read from another flash address, call
`open_binary` with `format: "esp-flash-image"` and `flash_offset`; an
`esp-image` whose `flash_dump` is set names that offset in a next probe; a
relocated table can be named with `partition_table_offset`. No table found
means unknown, often flash encryption. Extraction writes `nvs_keys` as
ordinary data. See
[ESP flash images](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/esp-flash-image.md).
## Bun standalone executables
A `bun build --compile` executable stores its module graph in Mach-O
`__BUN,__bun`, a PE or ELF `.bun` section, or an appended trailer.
`open_binary` then `inspect_artifact` reports root format `bun-standalone` with
the carrier, structural layout, module count, entry point, raw flags and
compile exec-argv; each module keeps its `/$bunfs/...` source name, loader,
encoding, sizes and SHA-256, with sourcemap, bytecode and module-info regions as
separate children. Use summary root metadata `entry_point_logical_path` as the
exact inventory `logical_paths` selector, then read the selected content node by
its artifact ID; the reader owns virtual-name normalization and indexed fallback. `extract-artifact` writes stored contents through the safe
output tree; route extracted JavaScript to `analyze_javascript_application`.
Layout labels describe record shapes, not a detected compiler version; unknown
or ambiguous layouts are unsupported. Bytecode is retained, not decoded, and the
executable is never run. See

A `deno compile` executable stores its application in a Mach-O `__SUI,d3n0l4nd`
section, an Intel Mach-O `<~sui-data~>` trailer, an ELF `SUI` note of type
`0x53554901`, or a PE `RT_RCDATA` resource named `D3N0L4ND`.
`open_binary` then `inspect_artifact` reports root format `deno-standalone`
with the carrier, entry point, recorded options, and one occurrence per virtual
file, including size and SHA-256. Transpiled output, CJS export analysis, and
source maps are separate occurrences with the file's `index` and their own
`role`. They normally use a `.deno-*` suffix on the file path and move to an
indexed path on a collision, so use the reported `logical_path`. Symlink targets
stay recorded path parts. A virtual filesystem that cannot be listed leaves
coverage unknown.
Environment-file values and CA certificate bytes are retained in local Evidence
with their counts and byte lengths. The npm snapshot length is reported and not
decoded. `extract-artifact` writes
stored files through the safe output tree; route extracted JavaScript to
`analyze_javascript_application`. Other layouts are unsupported, and the
executable is never run. See
[Deno compile executables](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/deno-standalone.md).

## Packages and extraction
Use `inspect_artifact` for application bundles, archives, ZIP/APK/IPA/MSIX/AppX,
ASAR, or DMG inputs when the artifact graph and findings help answer the
question. It returns the complete artifact graph inline. Cite graph manifest
IDs when using them.
For an IPA or a macOS `.app`, ZIP, or DMG, pass the inventory Evidence to
`project_apple_application_graph`. It reports application roots and nested
bundles by path convention: app extensions, XPC services, frameworks, login
items, system and driver extensions, and plug-ins. It also lists privileged
helpers, launchd plists, symlinks, and each bundle's `info_plist_path` and
executable candidates. Roles are path conventions, not parsed plists; read the
listed plists with `inspect_plist`.
After `open_binary` on a `.app` or Mach-O, use `trace_dylib_resolution` to see
which file each `@rpath`, `@loader_path` and `@executable_path` load reaches for
every executable in the bundle. It also lists missing or weak loads and earlier
`@rpath` candidates that are absent. Narrow large bundles with `roots` or
`architecture`. System paths stay undetermined because the dyld shared cache
provides them.
Use `extract_artifact` when materialized files from a supported format are needed.
It extracts the active target and accepts optional `integrity_policy`; see the [MCP contracts](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/reference/mcp-contracts.md).
It materializes all regular files into a fresh temporary directory chosen by
REA. Symlinks and encrypted entries are inventory facts, not extractable files.
The result reports the materialized directory; callers do not choose the
destination. No separate permission grant is needed.
For classic iNES cartridges, `open_binary` recognizes the byte signature without
an executable architecture. `inspect_artifact` retains header facts and each
PRG/CHR file unit's offset, length and SHA-256; its nested inventory's
`ines.reconstruction` verifies the actual ordered region bytes against the
whole-file digest. Extraction includes the original header, optional trainer
and uninterpreted trailing bytes. These file units are not mapper/CPU bank
maps. NES 2.0, UNIF, dirty legacy headers and truncated payloads are explicitly
refused. No emulator or 6502 analysis is performed. See the
[iNES guide](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/ines-containers.md).
Native DMG traversal automatically uses a read-only mount on supported macOS
hosts, with an owned temporary mount directory and cleanup. It needs no approval
flag. Unsupported hosts or mount failures remain explicit limitations; do not
claim child inventory when only root identity is available. DMG extraction is
unavailable through `extract_artifact`. To access DMG files on macOS, create a
read-only mount with your own tools, select files from that mount for analysis,
and detach the mount you created when finished. REA's inspection mount is
temporary, not a retained export of the image's contents.
Use `inspect_byte_entropy` to triage high- and low-entropy ranges before extraction.
## Godot PCK
For a standalone PCK, `open_binary` then `inspect_artifact` with
`detail: "summary"` retains the complete static inventory. Use the returned
`parent_evidence_id` with `inspect_analysis_view` inventory occurrences filtered
by exact `logical_paths` or `occurrence_ids`, and join `artifact_id` to nodes
filtered by `artifact_ids`. Select only needed fields; identity links remain.
Prefer `inspect-artifact --detail summary --evidence_output PATH` for CLI tasks;
the same CLI discovers embedded packs via their EOF trailer without opening a
native analysis provider. Normal native opening remains unchanged.
Distinguish declared MD5 from observed SHA-256 and graph/page completeness from
`source_coverage`. Encrypted directories and sparse bundles have unknown entry
coverage; encrypted members have unknown content identity. An empty filtered
page cannot prove absence in unknown coverage. Retained views are historical,
not fresh filesystem checks. No decryption, Godot resource decoding, GDScript
decompilation or target execution is provided. See
[Godot PCK](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/godot-pck.md).
UnityFS AssetBundle containers (`.bundle`, `.ab`, YooAsset packages and other
byte-identified files) list `CAB-*` SerializedFiles and `.resS` members with
header and node facts; none/LZ4/LZ4HC member blocks stream on demand. Bundles
declaring asset-bundle encryption keep header facts with unknown directory
coverage; LZMA member bytes retain named occurrences with unavailable hashes.
Virtual member offsets are not physical carrier locations. Format 6–8 readers
cache one decoded block and support retained filtered/paged views. No
decryption or SerializedFile object decoding is provided. See
[UnityFS](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/unityfs.md).
WeChat mini-program packages (`.wxapkg` files with `0xBE`/`0xED` marks) list
members with declared names and absolute carrier offsets; member bytes are
stored verbatim. `V1MMWX` PC-client packages report `encrypted` directory
status with unknown coverage and are refused on extraction; no decryption is
attempted. See
[wxapkg](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/wxapkg.md).
U-Boot legacy uImages use the same inspection/extraction workflows. Prefer a
retained summary and selected inventory views for header facts or component
IDs. Header addresses/CPU/OS are declarations; payloads remain as stored.
Multi-file components retain their aligned physical ranges; the full payload
is also materialized. Unknown name text retains its original 32 bytes. See
[U-Boot uImage](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/uimage.md).
## Bun standalone executables
A `bun build --compile` executable stores its module graph in Mach-O
`__BUN,__bun`, a PE or ELF `.bun` section, or an appended trailer.
`open_binary` then `inspect_artifact` reports root format `bun-standalone` with
the carrier, structural layout, module count, entry point, raw flags and
compile exec-argv; each module keeps its `/$bunfs/...` source name, loader,
encoding, sizes and SHA-256, with sourcemap, bytecode and module-info regions as
separate children. Use summary root metadata `entry_point_logical_path` as the
exact inventory `logical_paths` selector, then read the selected content node by
its artifact ID; the reader owns virtual-name normalization and indexed fallback. `extract-artifact` writes stored contents through the safe
output tree; route extracted JavaScript to `analyze_javascript_application`.
Layout labels describe record shapes, not a detected compiler version; unknown
or ambiguous layouts are unsupported. Bytecode is retained, not decoded, and the
executable is never run. See
[Bun standalone executables](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/main/docs/bun-standalone.md).

For same-session MCP comparisons, pass each capture inline or reuse it as

keeps capture-local timing as provenance without treating scheduler or observer
latency as a behavior change; use an exact `trace_spec` event when timing is part
of the analyst question.

### Desktop app environments
REA can also build an environment of a Linux desktop app, which an agent uses through screenshots, the mouse and the keyboard. From a one-line request, such as "Build me a Gnote environment where the agent adds olive oil to the shopping list note", your agent installs the app on a local build computer, writes the task, exports the environment and checks the task in a fresh computer. The machine that builds it needs Linux on amd64 or arm64, Docker and the agentenv framework version the guide pins.

## Joining frames to the crashed Mach-O or dSYM
Pass `join_path` (`--join-path` in the CLI) to select one local Mach-O
executable or dSYM. UUID bytes in the report and the artifact's `LC_UUID` load
commands are compared in hexadecimal, so an uppercase `dwarfdump --uuid` value
and a lowercase report `uuid` match.
```bash
rea inspect-apple-ips /absolute/path/to/report.ips \
--join-path /absolute/path/to/App.app/Contents/MacOS/App --json
```
Shared-cache image sources `S` and `C` remain unjoined: UUID agreement does not
establish that a standalone image has the cached layout.
For a FAT container every slice is examined. An image joins only when exactly
one slice has that UUID **and** an architecture that agrees with the report's
`arch`; `arm64` and `arm64e` stay distinct, and an all-zero UUID never joins. A
UUID match with a different architecture, more than one compatible slice, or a
slice without a readable `__TEXT` segment is reported as a rejected image with
its reason and stays unjoined rather than being guessed.
An unknown UUID in another slice prevents a unique join unless its architecture
rules out a match. Missing or unrecognized architecture and unsupported CPU
subtypes remain unknown; display-name fallbacks do not establish agreement.
The parsed slice facts remain available even when no match can be derived.
`join.status` is `selected` with the artifact path, SHA-256, byte length, every
slice's offset, arch, CPU type and subtype, UUID, and `__TEXT` vmaddr, plus
`image_matches`, per-frame results, and join-specific limitations. A joined
frame reports `static_address`, the slice `__TEXT` vmaddr plus the frame's
recorded `imageOffset`, in decimal and hexadecimal. An unjoined frame reports
a reason instead; an unknown image UUID, an absent `imageIndex` row, and a
frame without `imageOffset` all stay unjoined rather than treated as aligned.
An artifact that is not a Mach-O image or FAT container reports
`join.status: "unreadable"` with a typed reason and leaves every report fact
intact. Symbol names printed inside the report stay recorded claims. Function
or symbol lookup at a joined static address, and matching dSYM symbol tables,
are not performed by this step.
Symbol names printed inside the report are recorded claims and are not
verified. Linux ELF cores use the separate
[recorded crash](guides/native/recorded-crashes.md) workflow.

`max_join_bytes` (`--max-join-bytes`) independently bounds the join artifact
read, defaulting to 64 MiB. This workflow does not execute a target, launch
atos, or search for dSYMs.
## Join admission and failures
The join uses the shared Mach-O container, slice, command-table and segment
readers. Slice extents and `sizeofcmds` bound every identity observation; duplicate
UUIDs or malformed commands cannot select the first plausible value. Unreadable
join results retain the successfully read artifact's path, SHA-256 and byte count.
The integer-text allowance spans the report and join, including repeated integer
facts and derived static addresses. Reservation precedes derived address
expansion. If a selected join read, interpretation or allowance fails, the error
retains the completed IPS report. Join read limits and recovery use
`max_join_bytes`, even when the report and join paths are identical. Cancellation
retains the caller's reason independently of those completed facts.
When a failure follows a completed join-file read, `partial_observation` retains
both the decoded report and a `join_artifact` receipt with the independently
observed path, SHA-256 and byte count. Frame rejection reasons reference
`join.limitations`; source-sized architecture diagnostics are retained once per
image rather than copied into every frame. Universal-image admission includes
the shared reader's supported hidden ARM64 row and rejects overlapping slices.
This workflow does not execute a target, launch atos, or search for dSYMs.

# Deno compile executables
`inspect-artifact` inventories a `deno compile` executable. `extract-artifact` writes the embedded virtual files through the existing safe output tree. Neither operation runs the executable or the Deno runtime.
```sh
rea inspect-artifact ./app --json
rea extract-artifact ./app --json
```
In MCP, open the executable with `open_binary`, then call `inspect_artifact`. Use `detail: "summary"` for a large virtual filesystem and `inspect_analysis_view` to page retained Evidence.
The recognized carriers are a Mach-O `__SUI` section named `d3n0l4nd`, an Intel Mach-O `<~sui-data~>` trailer, an ELF `PT_NOTE` or `SHT_NOTE` owned by `SUI` with type `0x53554901` and descriptor name `d3n0l4nd`, and a PE `RT_RCDATA` resource named `D3N0L4ND`. These are structural layouts. The metadata JSON has no Deno version field, so the compiler version stays unknown unless another record establishes it. Other layouts, including older eszip trailers, are unsupported.
Root metadata reports the carrier, entry point, argv, V8 flags, permission options, unstable configuration, application name, self-extracting marker, virtual-filesystem case sensitivity, and the npm snapshot byte length. The npm snapshot is not decoded. Each virtual file is one occurrence with its logical path, size, and SHA-256. Transpiled output, CJS export analysis, and source maps are separate occurrences beside that file. Each has the same `index` as the file and its own `role`. A region normally has the logical path of the file plus a `.deno-*` suffix. When that path belongs to another stored file, the region moves to an indexed path such as `deno-vfs/0.vfs-transpiled`, so read the reported `logical_path` instead of building it from the file name. They are not linked by `parent_occurrence_id`, which follows directories and expanded containers. Symlink targets stay recorded path parts and are never followed.
`Metadata.env_vars_from_env_file` holds values from a compile-time `--env-file`, and `ca_data` holds certificate bytes. Inventory retains the variable names and values, certificate bytes, counts, and byte lengths in local Evidence, so sharing that Evidence shares them. Extraction does not write them as files.
A virtual filesystem that cannot be listed reports `vfs_listing` as `unsupported` and leaves inventory and extraction coverage unknown, because its files are not examined.
Remote modules, redirects, and specifiers contribute counts and logical paths when their stored form is unambiguous. When it is not, they stay present with a byte length and an `unsupported` member listing. A module whose specifier is missing uses an indexed `deno-remote/<index>` path, which still exposes its stored bytes, and modules with resolved specifiers keep their paths. Colons, backslashes, and control characters in a specifier are percent-encoded in the logical path, so `http://localhost:8000/mod.ts` becomes `deno-remote/localhost%3A8000/mod.ts`. Percent escapes in a logical path use uppercase hex, and a specifier that reaches a path already taken uses an indexed path. `source_path` keeps the original specifier. A remote specifier is indexed the same way when a path component exceeds 255 UTF-8 bytes or the logical path exceeds 512 UTF-8 bytes, counting the `.deno-*` suffix of its stored regions. Unsafe, deep, or over-long virtual names use `deno-vfs/<index>` under the same rule and retain the original spelling when it fits the name allowance. A descendant does not present its own name as a complete source path when an ancestor spelling was dropped.
A length that overruns the section, or a closing marker that does not match, is malformed. An opening marker that is absent is unsupported. A confirmed section that cannot be parsed fails closed and does not fall through to a plain native inventory. An Intel Mach-O sentinel inside a confirmed trailer payload is data of that payload, so an Intel Deno executable stored as a virtual file does not replace the app that stores it. Trailers side by side with different bytes fail closed. A file is confirmed only by its carrier name, so an unrelated native file with malformed tables keeps its native inventory. That inventory does not establish that the file holds no Deno section.
See [limits and recovery](design/limits-and-recovery.md) for the named allowances. Synthetic tests cover the carriers and malformed declarations. Run `npm run verify:deno:standalone` for a local Deno compile of the host and, when the compiler can produce them, Linux, Windows, and Intel macOS targets. Deno is a fixture producer only and is not installed by REA. The produced executable is not run.
Layout reference: Deno `cli/lib/standalone/binary.rs` and `cli/lib/standalone/virtual_fs.rs` at 2.9.8, with libsui 0.16.4 section placement.

Expanded ASAR listing admission defaults to 64 MiB and has its own launch seed,
`REA_ASAR_MAX_LISTING_BYTES`. Raising `asar.max_header_bytes` alone cannot admit
expanded paths and entries that exceed this separate budget. The listing bound
uses exact safe-integer byte accounting; the host heap and transport constraints
remain independent. A lower runtime value is enforced on the next listing even
when the archive header was already examined.
Ghidra value-flow controls default to 3,000 operations, 64 inputs per operation,

`REA_GHIDRA_VALUE_FLOW_MAX_OPERATIONS`,
`REA_GHIDRA_VALUE_FLOW_MAX_INPUTS_PER_OPERATION`, and
`REA_GHIDRA_VALUE_FLOW_MAX_EDGES` launch seeds. Truncation names the exhausted
control. Completed Evidence remains accessible, but a new function dossier is
observed with the accepted controls instead of replaying an earlier projection.
The native decompiler payload control is separate from those projections and
from decompile time. Its launch seed is
`REA_GHIDRA_DECOMPILE_MAX_PAYLOAD_MIB`. Accepted explicit values are 1..2047 MiB:
the supported Ghidra implementation shifts that value into a signed integer byte
capacity. Omission or runtime `null` keeps the provider's own default; REA does
not guess that default from a different provider version. Changing payload
options takes effect before the next native decompile.
### Per-call resource policies and selection
An agent can also use controls declared directly by an operation. These do not
require a runtime setter or restart. Keep omitted fields omitted in Evidence;
report the resolved policy separately where needed. See the owning guides for

## Bun standalone module graphs
`inspect_artifact` and `extract_artifact` accept per-call `artifact_limits`.
The `bun` group defaults to 100,000 modules, independent 256 MiB payload,
retained-representation and physical metadata-read allowances, 256 path parts
and 250,000 logical path nodes. Recognition separately admits a 1 MiB ELF
section table and 16 MiB Mach-O load commands. Exhausted recognition remains
unknown rather than proving the carrier has no Bun graph. Inventory preserves
native-root facts or another confirmed pack and reports the exact unexamined
alternative inline; it does not assert Bun presence. ELF section names
are examined with exact bounded reads, including names beyond the former
prefix window.
For example, keep the same complete carrier and retry a reported recognition
limitation with `{"artifact_limits":{"bun":{"recognition_table_bytes":2097152}}}`.
The CLI spelling is `--artifact-limits '{"bun":{"recognition_table_bytes":2097152}}'`.
No REA restart is needed. A smaller later selection is re-admitted; previously
parsed facts cannot bypass it. The 256 KiB / 1,024-entry exact-range cache
avoids full-page amplification and remains an internal optimization, not an agent
resource setting. Shared logical path prefixes count once before nodes are added.
## Artifact reader admission
The same request provides `dotnet_bundle`, `node_sea` and `godot` groups. Their
controls apply when recognition or inventory encounters that format; supplying
a policy does not assert the format is present. Unsupported keys are rejected.
Each group follows one domain-owned default policy. See [.NET bundles](../dotnet-bundles.md),
[Node SEA](../node-sea.md), [Godot PCK](../godot-pck.md) and
[Bun standalone](../bun-standalone.md) for format semantics.
`artifact_limits.expanded_bytes` selects aggregate plaintext work for ZIP, Bun,
SEA and PCK readers, including repeated readable logical occurrences. Omission
retains each archive's encoded-size-derived default. The .NET bundle group's
own `expanded_bytes` controls its independently enforced bundle expansion.
Failures preserve `details.reader_limit` with the exact parameter, effective
value, units, supported range, required value when known, next-call scope and
`can_increase`. When `can_increase` is true, raise that field and retry the same
complete artifact. At the supported maximum, or when the required representation
exceeds it, the failure is not retryable by increasing that budget; inspect the
declared dimensions and input validity, or explicitly choose a suitable reader.
Summary, pagination and
selected extraction do not bypass producing admission. Intrinsic format,
safe-integer, path validity and runtime representation constraints remain fixed.
Evidence parameters retain the exact selected object, including omission or
`{}`. When an object was selected, inventory and extraction report the resolved
`effective_limits`; summaries preserve those facts. These are accepted policies,
not process-memory telemetry or a claim that every format reader ran. Complete
source identities and graph manifests remain content-addressed independently
of delivery selection. No partial extraction is claimed on admission failure.
## Deno compile sections
`MAX_DENO_METADATA_JSON_BYTES` admits at most 8 MiB of metadata JSON.
`MAX_DENO_VFS_HEADER_JSON_BYTES` admits at most 32 MiB of virtual-filesystem
header JSON. Specifier, redirect, and remote tables each admit at most 100,000
records. Specifier text admits at most 8 MiB, and remote module bodies admit at
most 256 MiB. The virtual filesystem admits at most 100,000 directory, file,
and symlink records and at most 512 nested levels (`MAX_DENO_VFS_DEPTH`). A
name longer than 4,096 UTF-16 code units is indexed and is not retained.
`MAX_DENO_VFS_RETAINED_UNITS` admits at most 32 million UTF-16 code units across
the source path built for every entry, directories included, and retained
symlink parts. A logical path deeper than 256 parts, a name that is not a safe
relative path, a path component longer than 255 UTF-8 bytes
(`MAX_DENO_PATH_COMPONENT_BYTES`, POSIX `NAME_MAX`), or a logical path longer
than 512 UTF-8 bytes (`MAX_DENO_LOGICAL_PATH_BYTES`, half of the Darwin
`PATH_MAX`) uses an indexed path and keeps the original spelling when that
spelling is within the name allowance. Component and path lengths include the
`.deno-*` suffix of the stored regions a member has. A descendant has no source
path when an ancestor spelling was not retained. Cancellation is checked before
the virtual-filesystem walk. The walk does not yield, so it does not observe a
cancellation that arrives while it is running; the retained allowance bounds its
work. The combined logical path tree admits at most 250,000 distinct prefixes.
`MAX_DENO_RETAINED_BYTES` admits at most 256 MiB of retained header and entry
metadata. The shared artifact expansion budget also bounds the sum of referenced
member lengths, with a 256 MiB floor.
Carrier location claims a file only after it confirms the carrier name: a
Mach-O `__SUI` segment, a `SUI` ELF note descriptor named `d3n0l4nd`, a PE
`D3N0L4ND` resource, or an Intel trailer opening with `d3n0l4nd`. Before that,
malformed tables and exhausted search budgets leave the file with native
inventory, and that inventory makes no claim that the file holds no Deno
section. ELF location reads ELF and note headers, not the whole image, and does
not hash note descriptors. An ELF larger than 512 MiB is still located when
those headers fit. Program and section tables are read at their canonical record
size, so the 16-bit header count bounds each read at 65,535 records. A table
that cannot be read, or that uses extended program numbering, is skipped and
another table can still hold the note. At most 256 notes are examined
(`MAX_INSPECT_ELF_NOTE_ENTRIES`). A damaged table or the note ceiling is a
refusal only when a `SUI` note was also confirmed. Intel Mach-O trailer search
reads each scanned byte at most once and examines at most 64 `<~sui-data~>`
sentinels (`MAX_DENO_INTEL_TRAILER_SENTINELS`). The search continues past a
confirmed trailer, because an enclosing trailer can hold it as a stored file, so
reaching that allowance after a confirmation is a refusal. PE location walks the resource directories to the named payload and
does not read the image whole, so a PE of any size is located when the
`D3N0L4ND` payload is within the 512 MiB resource reader ceiling. A larger
payload, or a confirmed resource that cannot be resolved, is a named refusal.
Refusals name the boundary. There is no runtime override; additional host memory
or `NODE_OPTIONS` does not raise these ceilings. Duplicate-section verification
rejects unequal lengths before hashing, stops at the first digest mismatch,
and reads at most the carrier file size in aggregate
payload bytes. Overlapping copies that exceed that allowance are refused.
Environment-file values and CA certificate bytes are retained in local Evidence
with their counts and byte lengths. The npm snapshot length is retained and its
bytes are not decoded.
`MAX_BUN_MODULE_COUNT` admits at most 100,000 module records.
`MAX_BUN_RETAINED_BYTES` admits at most 256 MiB of serialized graph payload and
separately bounds retained entry metadata. Physical metadata read work is also
limited to 256 MiB per preparation, including repeated uncached ranges. A
256 KiB / 1,024-entry exact-range cache avoids full-page amplification. The
combined logical path tree admits at most 250,000 distinct prefixes; this is
checked before adding nodes, with shared prefixes counted once. The shared
artifact expansion budget also bounds the sum of referenced member lengths. Refusals name the boundary.
There is no runtime override; additional host memory or `NODE_OPTIONS` does not
raise these ceilings. Use a smaller producer fixture or a separately reviewed
reader for larger graphs. No partial extraction is claimed on admission failure.

Elsewhere such a file may be a project's own, such as `Cargo.lock` or
`yarn.lock`, which pin dependencies, and is seeded, even under a folder whose

A seed file keeps the permission bits it had at the seed when the capture saw
it change, such as a `0600` file an app checks: the class module lists those
other than `0644` in `SEED_MODES`, and the first boot sets them when it copies
the seed. A file the capture never saw change has no recorded mode and is
written `0644`.
Files in app state are retained regardless of a `.log` extension or `log.<n>`

the lock rules above.

A [build computer](desktop-build-computer.md) can install an application from
its project's AppImage or tarball, pinned by URL and SHA-256, under
`/opt/rea-apps/<desktop entry>`. Neither holds a Debian package, so the
capture records the package as `unknown`, and the export takes the install
from `--download-install`, a JSON file the build computer writes from its
request:
```json
{
"kind": "appimage",
"desktop_entry": "org.freecad.FreeCAD",
"url": "https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/releases/download/1.1.4/FreeCAD_1.1.4-Linux-aarch64-py311.AppImage",

"architecture": "arm64"
}
```
A tarball's adds `program`, its path inside the archive, and optionally
`name`. The class then declares
`downloads=[Download(url=..., sha256=..., to="vendor/app.AppImage", arch=...)]`
(`vendor/app.tar` for a tarball) and `run=[RunScript(script="install-download.sh")]`,
the same script the build computer ran, with no apt package for the app. The
bundle does not contain the application and supports only the download's
architecture; the URL must keep serving those bytes, and the application's
licence is the operator's to check.
The export refuses the file (`download_install`) unless it names an
`appimage` or `tarball` with an `http://` or `https://` URL and a SHA-256,
the capture launched its `desktop_entry`, the captured program lies under its
folder in `/opt/rea-apps`, and the capture ran on its architecture; it
refuses `--package-url` beside it.
## Grading once the app has saved
A task's verifier, `artifacts/<task>-check/verify.py`, grades the app's files
only once they have settled, because an app can save on its own timer after the
last change. Gnote saves a note 4 s after the last key, so a read taken as
soon as the agent stops finds the text on screen but not yet in the file. The
verifier reads the app's `data/get` every 0.5 s. It compares each file's bytes
between reads by their SHA-256, as `data/get` returns them, and grades once
every file has held for 3 s. The 3 s count from when a read returned the
current bytes, not when it began, so a slow read that brings a change late
does not count its own run as quiet. 15 s after the first read began, the
bound, the verifier grades the last completed read: no read starts at or
after the bound, and a read still running then is cut. Each result records
whether the files settled in `settled`, and whether the bound cut a read in
`read_cut`.
The window has a cost and a limit:
- An app whose files do not change during the check, such as one that saved
at once, is graded 3 s after the first read returns.
- A save that lands more than 3 s after the first read returns is still
missed. An app that saves 4 s after the last key is caught only when the
agent stops at least a second after that key.
- Files the app rewrites more often than every 3 s, such as a log, never
settle, so every check waits until the bound.
- The bound counts the reads too, so a slow `data/get` ends the check at
15 s. Only the first read, which every grade needs, runs to its own
timeout.
The bound and window are `SETTLE_BOUND_S` and `SETTLE_WINDOW_S` in the
verifier. `check_build_task` waits the same way before it grades each
witness stage; see [witnessing](desktop-build-witness.md#witness).

views before admission, independently of how much seed data the export can

Views use bounded defaults. When a view reports truncation or a byte-budget
refusal, retry the same capture with `--view-policy` JSON overrides:

--state-path /home/ada/Documents/notes.txt \
--view-policy '{"text_lines":10000,"file_bytes":134217728}' --format json
```
`--state-path` selects an exact original captured path and can be repeated.
Omitting it examines every captured path. Selection preserves the captured
checkpoint and digest; it does not substitute the file's current contents.
A path absent from the capture is an input error.
`--view-policy` accepts positive safe-integer overrides for `file_bytes`,
`sqlite_tables`, `sqlite_rows`, `sqlite_view_bytes`, `text_lines`, `xml_nodes`, `xml_depth`,
`parsed_bytes`, `json_depth`, `zip_entries`, `zip_entry_bytes`, `zip_bytes`,
and `zip_ratio`. Unspecified controls keep the defaults described below.
`xml_depth` admits at most 494 and `json_depth` at most 991: these bounds
follow the fixed Evidence JSON nesting limit, including the captured-version
and ZIP-member wrappers and XML's element/children representation. A request
above either bound is rejected before reading the capture.
Evidence parameters retain only the supplied `view_policy` overrides; omission
and an explicitly empty selection remain distinct. State inspection and task
drafts report the resolved policy separately as
`normalized_result.effective_view_policy`. Changes apply on this call, without
a restart. File and ZIP byte counts refer to retained file bytes or uncompressed
ZIP member bytes, not transport size. Gzip document views share `zip_entry_bytes`
and `zip_ratio` with ZIP entry views; `zip_bytes` bounds a ZIP archive, not a
gzip stream. These selections also apply to the decompressed document's format
view. `sqlite_view_bytes` instead bounds each
projected table's compact UTF-8 JSON, including column names, primary keys,
rows and truncation metadata; it defaults to 16 MiB. Rows are charged before
retention. A table that exceeds this allowance keeps an actionable `error`,
while other tables remain readable. Increase this control and retry the same
capture for a projected-view refusal. It does not raise the SQLite worker's
separate fixed value/record or complete-reply limits, which may refuse earlier.
Each reader counts its native compact JSON encoding. Float spelling can differ:
Python emits `16.0` where JavaScript emits `16`, and exponent spelling also
varies. Identical numeric facts can therefore cross this byte threshold at
different settings. This is not a common transport-byte guarantee.
The same option is available on `describe-desktop-application-task` and
`export-desktop-application`. Export uses the accepted policy for task
validation and emits it into the Python readers used by the environment's
`data/get`; re-export with another policy to change those reader budgets.
Task checks apply `file_bytes` to the actual scrubbed seed bytes, including any
growth from replacing the capture home with `/home/user`. A seed over that
view allowance may still be exported under the independent acquisition limit,
but its unreadable view cannot establish a known task failure.
The TypeScript and exported Python readers share the policy's defaults.
These desktop capture workflows remain CLI-only.
Raising a view budget cannot recover content the capture never retained,

## Compressed documents
Gnumeric's `.gnumeric`, Dia's `.dia`, Xournal++'s `.xopp`, GnuCash's default
book and Inkscape's `.svgz` are XML compressed with gzip. A file that starts
with gzip's magic bytes, `1f 8b 08`, whatever its name, is read as the
document inside it: its members joined, then given a format and view by the
rules above under the file's own name, so a pointer or check into it is
written exactly as for the same document uncompressed, and the task draft is
the same. The version records the compression beside the format:
```json
{
"format": "xml",
"compression": "gzip",
"view": {
"root": { "name": "gnm:Workbook", "attributes": {}, "children": [] },
"truncated": false
},
"view_error": null
}
```
The document is read only when it is at most 16 MiB and at most 100 times the
file's size, an archive entry's limits, so decompressing stops there; past
them, or when the stream is damaged or cut short, the version has `format`
null and a `view_error`, and a check into it is undecided. A SQLite or dconf
database inside keeps its format and has a `view_error`, an archive inside is
read as an archive, and another gzip stream inside is binary. A gzip file
inside an archive reads as binary. Other compression, such as xz, Zstandard
or bzip2, is not read: such a file is binary.

compact XML with the text the XML reader kept, spaces between runs included,

`added` or `removed`: an archive's entries, an XML file's root element, a

position reaches has `note: "by_position"`, and its pointer cannot go into a

`volatile`, `timestamp`, `upkeep` or `layout` (see `task`). A record of
text fields added to a list of its kind, as GnuCash's
`<gnc:transaction>`, is listed field by field, and a field that lists
records, as its `<trn:splits>`, record by record, so the cut never hides
one. `refers_to` names up to
five other elements a value equals the `key` or `id` (`xmi:id` among them)
of, outside a view the app keeps of the document, as Umbrello's
`listview` mirroring its model by id, with the
`attribute` holding it, as HomeBank's `category="44"` names
`<cat key="44" name="Groceries"/>`, or the id a child element holds, as a
GnuCash split's `<split:account>` names the account whose `<act:id>` it
is, shown with its name, `<gnc:account …><act:name>Groceries</act:name>…`;
an element added whole lists those of the records of attributes it nests
too, as a KMyMoney transaction's splits name their `<ACCOUNT>` and
`<PAYEE>`, each once. Where several elements share that key, the one
whose tag shares the attribute's stem, as `payee` and `<pay>`, and of
those the one named for the attribute, as `account` an `<ACCOUNT>` before
an `<ACCOUNTID>`. A plain number names an element only through an
attribute so named or ending in `id`, `ref` or `key`, so a list's
`count="5"` names no `<FIXVERSION id="5"/>`. A value that changed lists,
in `alternatives`, its pointer naming the element by each other identifier
or name-like attribute it holds alone among its tag's members, up to
three, as an Inkscape text's `[@inkscape:label=Headline]` beside its
`[@id=text12]`, for a check to name it by instead; an element its tag
alone names inside the first one a condition names, as an EPUB chapter's

`line_count` of the lines `contains` its text up to that value, as
`<node TEXT="Water filter" ID="`, at the end's number, where both views
hold the whole file, instead of a `lines_present` another save would
fail, or a `volatile_lines` note when no text comes before it. UUID-shaped
text stays exact because its shape alone does not show that it was generated;
JSON and key files gain
`value_equals` and `value_absent` by pointer, a JSON array's records named
by an id field each holds alone at both ends (`id`, `uid`, `uuid`, `guid`,
`key` or a name ending in `_id` or `Id`), as `/lists/[id=chores]`,
whatever order the app saves them in; where the app generated that id, a
record both ends hold is named by its kind field and its first name-like
string field (a key ending in `name`, `title`, `label` or `caption`),
nearest first and up to three keys deep, that holds the same string at
both ends and names it alone at each, as TreeLine's category by
`/nodes/[format=CATEGORY][>data~1NAME=Science]`, and by its id where none
does, as `/nodes/[uid=7584d494d9f511f1a873edd4f1920549]` once its name
changed; and a record only one end holds is named by such a field that
names it alone at its end and nothing at the other, as TreeLine's new book by
`/nodes/[format=BOOK][>data~1Title=The Silk Roads]`, its other fields
checked through that selector and the fields the selector reads not, nor
a field holding what every like record (one of its kind) at the end holds
there, as the empty `children` of every book; and
by position only where nothing names a record, as a new book whose title
another book holds, with a `by_position` note listing those checks;
never a value that is a uid the app generates (a
GUID, or 32 hex digits as TreeLine's uuid1), nor a check the seed already
passes, as a new record's `format` where another record of that kind held
its place; a removed record is checked gone by its own pointer, as
`/lists/[id=chores]`, and only where the end holds nothing there, so a
record only position reached, whose place another took, is left to the
count; `member_count` checks of the
arrays whose members were added or removed, of the members' kind where
records share a `type`, `kind`, `format` or `category` field, as `/nodes`
matching `[format=BOOK]`, and a count guard of the innermost array an edit
went through, as for XML; SQLite tables gain rows added,
holding a letter whose count changed; JSON and key files gain
`value_equals` and `value_absent` by pointer; SQLite tables gain rows added,
changed and removed, by primary key, and their new row count. An XML file,
and the JSON, key file and XML views of a zip archive's entries, gain checks
by [selectors](#pointers-and-selectors) and never through an element by
position: in XML, first [`text_equals`](#whole-text) for each element whose
text changed, then elements added or removed whole, then values changed,
added and removed, an entry or a JSON value added whole through its
members, and an empty array or object as it is.
- A selector names a member by its tag, then by its identifiers (`name`,
`id`, `xid`, `xml:id`), then by one other attribute, a name-like key such
as Scribus's `ANNAME` or `inkscape:label`, a worded value or an integer of
up to five digits first, then by two such attributes together, as
Gnumeric's cells by `[@Col=3][@Row=2]`, then by a coordinate, a long
number, a length with its unit, as `svg:height="2.629cm"`, an `xml:id`
or `draw:id` of the form `id2` that LibreOffice numbers anew as it saves,
so a Draw shape is named by its `draw:name`, or a token,
such as `XPOS` or `ItemID`, or an id of random case, as Umbrello's
`ubcgF2AWfBmHh` (`u` and twelve letters and digits), an automatic style name an app numbers as it
saves and renumbers on reload, as LibreOffice's
`presentation:style-name="pr1"` (`P1`, `T1`, `MT1`, `L2` on a
`*:style-name`), so a slide's frames are named by `presentation:class`,
or an attribute naming
view state, such as which layer is `selected`, and last by a child
element's text, `[>CHILD=VALUE]`, a name-like tag first, as Osmo's
record by `[>first_name=Delphine]`, MuseScore's `<Text>` by
`[>style=Title]`, a spreadsheet row by its label cell, or GnuCash's
transaction by `[>trn:description=Greenleaf Market]`: text of at most 64
characters, never a time or a token or id a program generates; then by
an identifier a child carries, `[>CHILD@ATTR=VALUE]`, as a GtkBuilder
`<child>` by `[>object@id=submit_button]`, never one an app generates or
numbers anew as it saves; and then by text a child joins from elements
of its own, as Glade's `[>packing=TrueTrue1]` from a widget's packing
properties, which moving the widget changes. A pair
counts every member holding both its values, whichever attributes that
member ranks first. An element with identifiers is named by those alone;
an id the app generates, as Freeplane's `ID_329023692`, or a GUID in
any attribute, braced or not, as VYM's `uuid="{18eadb5d-…}"`, ranks
last, after a child's text, so a new node is named by its `TEXT` and a
new VYM branch by `[>heading=Sunset boat tour]`, while a member
both versions hold pairs by such an id first, so records that keep their
UUIDs and swap titles read as two title edits. A value that stands for
none, as Grisbi's `Id="(null)"` on every transaction, names nothing, so a
new transaction is named by its `Nb`. A child's text is
counted on every sibling, one an identifier names included, so a title
two records share names neither. The selector must name the
member alone at both ends, with the same values; a child's text names a
member that is in one version only when the list's length changed, so a
row whose one cell an edit changed stays that row. An element whose one
identifier changed, at its place among its tag's members, with every
other attribute and its children alike, is that element renamed, as a
MyPaint layer renamed from `Layer` to `Sun`: it is paired by its first
other attribute naming it alone at both ends, as
`[@src=data/sun.png]`, so the rename reads as its `name` changed, and
the old name gets a check that it names nothing, unless its change is
noise, as an id the app renumbered. Where that attribute's values number
the members in document order, as MyPaint 2 writes `src` as
`data/layer-00.png`, `data/layer-01.png` and on along the stack and
renumbers them when a layer moves, each version is named by its own
value of the renamed identifier instead, `[@name=Sun]` and
`[@name=Layer]`.
- A child of the document's root that its tag alone names, and that holds
a list (two or more elements of one tag and no text of its own) and has
an identifier, also gets a condition that keeps it named if the app adds
a sibling of its tag, as Dia adds an empty `Background` layer each time
it reopens and saves a diagram: an id other than `name` both ends hold,
as Inkscape's `[name=g][@id=layer1]`, which a new sibling would not
share; else the text of a child both ends hold, as Dia's
`[name=dia:layer][>dia:object=#Receive order#]`, which an empty sibling
lacks; else its `name`, which a new one may repeat. Deeper, a member of
a list named for its tag, as Gnumeric's `gnm:Sheet` in `gnm:Sheets`,
holding elements and its tag alone naming it, gets an id, else a
name-like child's text, `[name=gnm:Sheet][>gnm:Name=Budget]`, else its
`name`. Other steps, and elements with neither, stay as they are.
An identifier the app numbers by position names nothing: where the
members of a tag hold it as 1..N (or 0..N-1) in document order at both
ends, members were inserted or removed, and every member another
attribute names alone at both ends kept its number or moved it the way
the count did, one at least, as Planner's task `id` after a task is
inserted, members are paired by their other attributes, so an insertion
reads as one task added. A value two members swap, or an id appended at
the end, as Tellico's next `<entry id="4">`, leaves the ids identity. An
identifier numbering the members 0..N-1 in document order at both ends,
where members came or went, as Parley numbers its `<entry id="6">` by
where it saves it, ranks after a child's text where a member has one, so
a new entry is `[>translation=library]` and its kept neighbours are named
alike; Tellico's ids, which count from 1, Tiled's and Rosegarden's,
whose members hold no text, stay identity. An element a change added that
holds nothing but the id of a record it added elsewhere, as Parley's
lesson membership `<entry id="6"/>`, is `upkeep`, listed with `refers_to`
on that record, never a check or a count.
- The text check names the paragraph rather than a run inside it: it goes up
from an element sitting in its parent's text, and from one named by its
tag or position alone to the nearest ancestor named by an attribute, as
AbiWord's `p` by its `xid`, unless it is a field its tag names in a
record of two or more fields holding text, as QElectroTech's `<text>`
beside `<info_name>` in a `<dynamic_elmt_text>`, or KmPlot's
`<equation-0>` beside `<arg-min>`, which is checked itself rather than
the record whose text joins its fields; one line of text the app lays
out between line breaks, as KmPlot's formula before the next element, is
checked, and its siblings guarded, with `normalize_whitespace: true`,
and text whose whitespace alone changed, as a formula the app moved to
an indented line of its own, gets no check; where no attribute names one, to the nearest
ancestor within three levels its tag names with no step by position, as
MuseScore's `VBox` around untitled `<Text>` elements; and where only
position reaches the element, to the ancestor above the outermost step by
position, by an attribute of its own that names it alone where one does,
as an ODS sheet's `table:table[@table:name=Q1 Sales]` above its rows. The
text nodes and runs inside it get no other check, but an element holding
no text that is added or removed there, such as an image or a line break,
keeps its own, since the text check never reads it. A decimal that is an
element's only text, such as a spreadsheet cell's, is checked by its
number instead. Free text that gains a line, such as a shopping list,
uses `text_equals` on the whole text: the current XML checks cannot
compare an unstructured line as a whole item. This can reject a correct
edit that puts the item elsewhere or changes spacing. Text an app keeps in an attribute, one element per run, as Scribus's
`<StoryText><ITEXT CH="Spring "/><ITEXT CH="Fair"/>`, gets a `text_equals`
with `text_attribute` on the nearest ancestor an attribute names, as
`[name=PAGEOBJECT][@ANNAME=Headline]` with `"text_attribute": "CH"`, where
that ancestor holds no text nodes and the attribute's holders are runs,
none inside another and none carrying an identifier or a name-like
attribute beside it, as Umbrello's `<ownedAttribute xmi:id="…"
name="email" visibility="private"/>`, a record whose attributes are
checked one by one, two or more or one holding words with a space: an
element's own attribute, as a Freeplane node's `TEXT` beside the nodes in
it, or a lone value, as `<Bool value="false"/>`, is checked where it is.
The check covers that attribute and the runs holding it; another change
in the frame, as a run's `FONT`, keeps its own check. A record added
or removed whole, an element holding only elements, its fields, such as
Tellico's `<entry>` or a record of repeated `<field>` elements, never
makes the list holding records of its kind a check, whose text would hold
the records the edit left alone, except a record removed whole that only
position names, whose absence only the list's text shows. Text made of
runs is no record: an element whose tag names a paragraph or a piece of
text (`p`, Writer's `text:p` and `text:h`, `h1` to `h6`, `li`, `para`,
SVG's `text` and `tspan`, a `span` or an `a`), one inside such an
element, as Word's `<w:r>` run in its `<w:p>`, one whose elements are all
inline formatting (`b`, `i`, `u`, `em`, `strong`, `bold`, `italic`, a
`span`, `a`, `code`, `sub`, `sup` and the like, Gnote's `size:` and
`link:` runs), as `<list-item><bold>olive oil</bold></list-item>`, or
whose runs split a sentence at a space, as `Meet ` and a linked
`Monday`. Nor does an element holding a date the app stamps in parts
take a text check.
- An element added to a list, where another element of its tag is at either
end, gets a `value_equals` for each of its attributes, best ranked first,
at most six, leaving out its selector's attributes, identifiers, times,
volatile values, view state and values standing for none, as HomeBank's
new `<ope>` gets its `amount`, `category` and `payee`; a value two or
more like siblings all hold, as Grisbi's `Cu="1"`, comes after those
that vary, as its `Pa`, `Ca`, `Dt` and `Am`. Records of attributes
alone that it nests, as a KMyMoney `<TRANSACTION>` its `<SPLITS>` of
`<SPLIT>`, get a `value_equals` of each attribute whose values vary among
the like records, its own and those under its like siblings, at most
three a record and six in all, as each split's `value` and `payee`, but
not one every split holds alike, as `price="1/1"`, nor one each holds
equal to an earlier one, as `shares` repeats `value`. Each record is
named by an identifier that the app neither generates nor numbers anew
in every record holding such a list, as KMyMoney's `S0001` in every
transaction, else by its best ranked attribute short of a coordinate or
an amount, as `[name=SPLIT][@account=A000001]`. An element whose other attributes, two
or more, a like sibling holds every one of, as a new Planner task copies
its neighbour's defaults, and any other element added whole, get a check
that it exists; of those copied, an attribute naming an element the seed
holds by an id that is no plain number, as an Umbrello attribute's
`type` its data type, is the user's choice and keeps its check. A record added to a list that a selector names, as
Tellico's `<entry id="4">` or Osmo's `<record>` by its first name, gets
a `text_equals` for each field, at most five, each by its selector among
the record's fields, as `[name=title]`, leaving out a field repeating the
record's identifier, the field its selector names it by unless it is
the only one left, as a new VYM branch's `<heading>`, a value every
like record holds in that field, as Osmo's `<group>None</group>`, noise,
a field holding ids of its own, a date the app stamps in parts, and blank
text or times; a field that lists records, as GnuCash's `<trn:splits>`,
gets its records' fields instead, each record by its own selector. An
attribute every like record holds alike, as GnuCash's `version`, is the
format's and gets no check. A record only position names also gets a
`text_contains` for each new field of three or more characters, at most
five, at the nearest ancestor a check can name, each absent from that
ancestor's text at the seed.
- Where members of a list were added or removed, a `member_count` of the
list's members of their tag, and of their kind where they share one
(`type`, `kind` or `shape`, as `[name=dia:object][@type=Flowchart - Box]`),
unless every member of the tag holds a value of its own, as Tiled's
objects a free-form `type` (`well`, `door`, `gate`), which labels each
rather than grouping them,
equal to the end's number, which differs from the seed's: at most two a
file, the shallowest lists first, after the other checks. None for a
list of one member at both ends, as a style an app adds for a run, for
members of an element a text check reads, which are runs of its text,
for an element in mixed content, or for noise.
- A decimal written as text, such as `146.83`, is suggested as a number
with `tolerance: 0.001`, unless the seed's value, read as the evaluator
reads a number (`10` and `1e1` included), is that close too. A
`value_equals` that would pass on the seed's value is not suggested.
- An element placed by its own position, holding numeric `x` and `y` as a
like sibling does, as Xournal++ places each `<text>` note on a layer, is
an item of its own, never a run of the others' text: one added whole
gets a `text_contains` of its text on the element holding the items,
which passes wherever it is placed, and that list's `member_count`.
- Noise leaves the suggestions when the file's change holds anything
else, a change only position reaches included: view state, which a tag
or attribute on the way names (the cursor, a selection, as VYM's
`<select>`, the layer, frame,
view or colour the app has current, as Pencil2D's `currentLayer`,
scrolling, zoom, the viewport, windows, splitters, a list or tree view
mirroring the document, as Umbrello's `listview`, Inkscape's `namedview`, view and
configuration settings, the printer, a save's history, edit time,
editing duration and cycles, last-saved time, the generator and
document statistics, and a preview or thumbnail the app renders, as
Xournal++'s `<preview>`), or the value of a name-like attribute or `key` on
the way, when it is one token of several words, as LibreOffice's
`config:config-item[@config:name=CursorPositionX]` inside
`[@config:name=ooo:view-settings]`, or a settings path ending in how a
panel shows (`visible`, `hidden`, `expanded`, `geometry`, `size` and the
like), as VYM's `<setting key="/treeeditor/visible">`; an identifier the
app numbers by position. An `Id` suffix alone does not show that an
attribute is generated, so relationship fields such as `accountId` are
retained; other save-generated IDs may need manual review; volatile
values, UUIDs and epoch times, binary data encoded as base64 (a PNG's
`iVBORw0KGgo`, or 256 or more base64 characters mixing cases and
digits), an id counter (`uniqueid`, `nextobjectid`), a value equal to an
id the change gave a new element where a counter or that element holds
it, as Umbrello's `lastobject` holds the new attribute's `xmi:id`, but
never a reference on an element both ends hold, as a KMyMoney split
moved to a new account, and durations and counts under a document's metadata; times the app stamps, also as a date written in
parts whose tag, or one it sits in, names when the app made, changed or
saved something, as Tellico's `<cdate>` of `<year>`, `<month>` and
`<day>` (`cdate`, `mdate`, `created`, `modified`, `saved`, `updated`,
`entered`), or written whole under such a tag, as GnuCash's
`<trn:date-entered><ts:date>2026-11-06 08:53:08 +0000`,
which no check ever reads, while a date a user enters in parts, as a
birthday, is an edit like any other; an id the app assigns, an `id`
element with `type="guid"`, as GnuCash's `<trn:id>`, and text of control
characters, as its unset options hold; `upkeep`, a change inside an
app's `slots`, as GnuCash's `book:slots`, which it adds to and fills on
reopening a book, a count an app keeps of its members, an attribute
whose key ends in `count` or an element whose tag names a count, whose
integer changed and at each end equals how many elements of one tag it,
or the element holding the text, holds there, the counter left out, as
VYM's root `branchCount`, KMyMoney's `<TRANSACTIONS count="5">` or
GnuCash's `<gnc:count-data>`, or, for a counter the change added, how
many of one tag, more than one, it holds as children, as FreeCAD's
`<ObjectDeps Count="2">`, while a count a user enters, as an item's
`<count>`, is an edit, and the `loext:tab-stop-distance` attributes
LibreOffice fills in `styles.xml` while another entry holds the edit,
and, while a change outside them is the edit, any
change in `styles.xml`, in a document's style containers or its master,
handout and notes pages, or to an attribute naming an automatic style
(`P1`, `MT1`) at both ends, as Impress after a reload wraps its master pages' fields in a new `MT1` style and
rewrites list style `L2`, and a text showing another field that changed
alike, its element beside a field naming that one's key, as
QElectroTech's `<dynamic_elmt_text>` shows a component's label in its
`<text>` beside `<info_name>label</info_name>`; and `layout`, attributes holding a list of
numbers, as Dia's `obj_bb` `6.3225,6.15;12.5775,8.15`, or a number a
name on its way calls layout (a position, point, box, corner, width,
height, side or offset, as `elem_width`), that changed in an element up
to three levels below one whose text changed, below the root's own
children, while their own element's text did not, as Dia moves and
resizes a box around its new text, or below an element whose tag names a
diagram, widget, canvas or scene while the model change is elsewhere, as
Umbrello grows a class's `classwidget` `height` when an attribute is
added; an order's `<amount value="12"/>` beside its new description is
content. Geometry that changed with
no text beside it, as a CAD sketch's, is content. However much noise
comes first, it never takes a check's place. When the change holds
nothing else, the checks stay and a note flags them: up to three in a
document, and as many as fit in the app's own state, where a view
setting may be the task.
- Whitespace an app lays out between elements is not checked, and values
that look like a time the app stamps, in ISO 8601, as C's `asctime`
writes it (`Thu Nov 5 09:20:31 2026`) or as a time of day to the
second (`05:16:21.675302540`), are left out; noise never makes its
ancestor's whole text a check.
- `guards`: checks an author may add to show the edit left the rest alone,
kept out of `task.checks`, with ids `guard-1` and on: for each suggested
`value_equals` or `text_equals` on a member of an XML list, or a
`value_equals` through a JSON record added whole, as TreeLine's new book's
`data/Author` gives
`/nodes/[format=BOOK][>data~1Title=Small Engines of Life]/data/Author`
(its like records are those of its kind, named as both ends pair them,
and it reads only the check's own field), a field on up to
two like siblings, those sharing most of the attributes its selector
names it by and its type, as a cell's `Row` or `Col` and `ValueType`,
then the nearest first, at its seed value, which the end holds
too, trying at most the 16 nearest, so a guard costs the same among
thousands of siblings; for a member named as a field, by a name-like attribute alone, as
QElectroTech's `elementInformation[@name=label]`, the like siblings of
the nearest record out that hold that field too come first, so the other
components' labels guard a component's label rather than its other
fields: the check's own field where like siblings hold different values in
it, and otherwise one that varies among them, as Planner's `work` rather
than the `type="normal"` every task shares, but not one numbering the
members in order, as MyPaint's `src`; never through a sibling only
position pairs. A guard never selects its sibling by
what it reads: a sibling its selector names by the attribute the guard
checks, or by a value that is or holds the text it reads, as Glade's
`[>object=CancelTrueTrueTrue]` for a button's `Cancel` label, is named by
another identifier, name-like attribute or child's text it holds alone
at both ends instead, as Tiled's objects by `[@id=2]` rather than the
`name` the guard reads, or Glade's button by `[>packing=TrueTrue0]`, or
else the guard reads another field, or there is none. A `text_equals` with `text_attribute`
reads its siblings the same way. A text file gets a `lines_present` of the
nearest two unchanged lines of its first new line's kind, list items with the same
marker, as Zim's other `[ ]` action items, or lines the same command
opens, as the other headings after LyX's `\begin_layout Section`, or lines
of the same keyword or `key:` in other records, as a gettext catalogue's
other `msgstr` lines rather than the edited entry's own `msgid`, or else
its nearest lines with words in them; each text both ends hold once, never
a line with no text of its own, a command such as `\end_layout`, tags
alone such as `<fonts>` or `</node>`, or a key alone such as a RedNotebook
day's `24:`, nor a line that repeats; an item placed by its own position
that an edit added, a `text_contains` of each of up to four kept items'
text, nearest first. Where members were only edited, a
`member_count` of the innermost list holding the edited element that an
edit goes through by a member with like siblings, a record rather than a
field of one (a member named by a name-like attribute alone that the
record's like siblings hold too), of the edited member's tag and kind, at
the seed's number, as Dia's boxes in their layer, MyPaint's layers in
their stack or Glade's buttons in their button box: no member of the kind
added or removed; never of runs in an element a text check reads, and
only where the end holds the same number. A guard of a coordinate comes
after those of text. At most four a file besides the count guard, which
sits outside that cap, so sibling guards never squeeze it out. They pass
on the seed, which the export allows, since one check failing there is enough.
- `notes`: why `files` is empty, or why a file's suggestions are thin. Each
note has a `code` and a `message`. For a draft with no files: `no_change`
when no file under the home changed between the two checkpoints and nor
did the application's dconf keys; `unowned_changes` when files changed but
none under the owned paths, with up to five of them in `files`, each with
its home path and role (desktop services' files last), and how many more
in `more`; `uncheckable_changes` when the application's keys in a dconf
database changed, with the database in `files`: no check reads dconf, and
the export only writes the keys as they were at the seed checkpoint, so
make the task's change one the app saves in a file; `unreadable_changes`
when a dconf database changed but REA could not read it, with the read
failure in `error` (install `dconf-cli` or set `REA_DCONF_COMMAND` when it
is missing), since whose keys changed is then unknown; and `no_document`
when no file has the document role, as when no window title shows the
file's name. A capture again with `--state-path` naming the file, or
`state_paths` on a build computer's `start_build_capture`, makes it the
app's. For a drafted file, named in `file`: `by_position` when
changes reach their element only by position, the tags no attribute names
alone in `elements`, or when only the elements' order changed;
`view_state_only` when every change is noise, the checks kept in
`pointers`; `long_text` when an element's text changed past the 2,000
characters a text check compares, the elements in `pointers`; `cut_view`
when the views hold only part of the file; `unreadable_view` when no
check can read it, as a document REA reads as binary;
`volatile_lines` when a text file gained lines holding a value the app
generates with no text before it to count them by; `generated_reference`
when an array references a newly generated record ID that cannot be checked
exactly across runs, with up to five affected `pointers`; and `read_as_text`
when a text file opens like XML, with a declaration, a DOCTYPE or an
element, but reads as text because its DOCTYPE has an internal subset or
it is not well formed, so its checks compare lines that hold attributes in
the order the app wrote them.
text changed, then an element added whole that it exists, one removed whole
that it is absent, then values changed, added and removed, an entry or a
JSON value added whole through its members, and an empty array or object as
it is. The text check names the paragraph rather than a run inside it: it
goes up from an element sitting in its parent's text, and from one named by
its tag or position alone to the nearest ancestor named by an attribute, as
AbiWord's `p` by its `xid`; the text nodes and runs inside it get no other
check, but an element holding no text that is added or removed there, such
as an image or a line break, keeps its own, since the text check never
reads it. Whitespace an app lays out between elements is not checked, and
values that look like a time the app stamps, in ISO 8601 or as C's
`asctime` writes it (`Thu Nov 5 09:20:31 2026`), are left out.

## Readers
For a file REA cannot interpret itself, such as an app's binary document,
the task can define `readers`: 1 to 8 commands using the app's own reading
capability. Each reader has a unique `id` of lowercase letters, digits and
hyphens, a home-relative `file`, an `argv` array and `output`, either `json`
or `lines`. Its `argv`, or optional `stdin` text, must contain `{file}`;
the runner replaces it with the path of a private copy of that file.
The command must be installed where the export runs and in the exported
computer where the task will be graded.
The command prints its answer in lines starting with `REA `; other stdout
is ignored. With `output: "json"`, those marked lines join into one JSON
value for `value_equals`, `value_absent` and `member_count`. With
`output: "lines"`, they supply the lines for `lines_present`, `lines_absent`
and `line_count`. A check selects a reader with `"reader": "READER-ID"`
and must give that reader's file as its `file`. Every reader must be used by
at least one check.
Readers execute commands, including any code in `argv` or `stdin`; review
them before exporting or running a task. The runner uses a private copy, a
fresh home, no session bus or computer control token, and no display unless
the reader requests `display: true`. This is execution isolation from the
running app's normal profile, not a filesystem sandbox. `timeout_s` defaults
to 60 seconds and accepts 1 to 300. A failed command, timeout, malformed
answer or missing marked output reports a reader error; it does not establish
that the document lacks the expected value. Correct the command or its output and retry; increase
`timeout_s` within its accepted range when the reader needs longer.
Export runs readers on both retained ends, using the seed bytes as the bundle
actually ships them. The witness and exported verifier run them in the
computer after the app's files settle. Cleanup failures retain the reader's
reported resources: retry the check or close the build computer to retry
cleanup; when the command's outcome is unknown, confirm it stopped before
removing its folder.
## Screen judges
A task whose result exists only on screen can use `screen_judge` checks:
```json
{
"name": "show-list",
"prompt": "In Notes, show the shopping list.",
"checks": [
{
"id": "shown",
"kind": "screen_judge",
"question": "Does the window show the shopping list?"
}
]
}
```
Each question must be a nonempty yes-or-no question of at most 2,000
characters, false on the seed and true when the task is done. A screen task
contains only screen checks and takes no readers. Export refuses it when an
owned file's readable change could be checked instead, or when the build
computer's seed or end screenshot is missing or exceeds 2 MiB. Capture those
checkpoints in a build computer before exporting.
Export ships the two screenshots as labelled failing and passing examples;
it does not call the judge or establish that the questions distinguish them.
The [build witness](desktop-build-witness.md) runs the exported judge on a
fresh screenshot at each stage. The verifier takes a screenshot after the
solving agent stops. For each question, the judge sees both examples and
votes three times; a majority of yes answers passes the check.
The judge uses `[model.roles] judge` in the runner's
`.agentenv/config.toml`, then `[model] default`, then
`anthropic/claude-sonnet-5-5`. Configure its endpoint with
`LITELLM_BASE_URL` and `LITELLM_API_KEY`, or `[model] base_url` and `api_key`.
`agent-env run --judge-model` does not reach this verifier. Without an
endpoint, grading raises and the run fails rather than scoring the agent;
configure the endpoint and rerun the witness or task.

## Counting members
`member_count` counts the members of the array its pointer names: a JSON
array, or an XML element's `children`. `matching`, a selector of one or more
conditions as [above](#pointers-and-selectors), `[>PATH=VALUE]` included,
counts only the members it matches, however many; without it every member
counts. An element's children hold its text nodes too, so give `matching`
for XML, such as `[name=entry]`. A Tellico task that adds one book to a
collection of 12:

"equals": 13

It takes exactly one of `equals`, `at_least` and `at_most`. The empty
pointer `""` names the whole file, for a JSON file whose top level is an
array. A pointer that names no array, an absent file's included, fails and
says what it found there. Like the other counts, it is undecided on a view
that may hold only part of the array.

## Set up a build host
On a Linux host with Node.js and Docker, from a REA
[checkout](getting-started/installation.md#run-rea-from-a-checkout):
```bash
rea setup --client claude_code --desktop-build --install-agentenv
rea doctor --provider desktop_build --client claude_code
```
Setup shows its plan and asks before it changes anything; `--dry-run` only
prints it and `--yes` approves it. It packs REA's runtime archive into
`~/.cache/rea/build-computer/rea-<version>.tar.xz` (under `$XDG_CACHE_HOME`
when set, `~/Library/Caches` on macOS), and packs again once REA's version
changes; an archive `REA_BUILD_COMPUTER_REA_ARCHIVE` already names is
recorded instead. It records `REA_AGENT_ENV_COMMAND`, `REA_DOCKER_COMMAND` and
`REA_BUILD_COMPUTER_REA_ARCHIVE` as absolute paths in that client's REA
registration, keeping a value the registration already has other than an
archive setup packed for an earlier REA version, and refreshes the skill.
`--install-agentenv` runs `uv tool install agentenv-framework==0.9.1464`
when `uv` is on `PATH`, and otherwise prints the command. Setup never
installs Docker or Node.js and never runs `sudo`. Restart the client
afterwards.
Doctor is read-only and checks, in order: a Linux amd64 or arm64 host,
Node.js, procps `ps`, the Docker CLI, a Docker daemon reachable without
`sudo`, 20 GB free where Docker keeps images, agentenv-framework 0.9.1464,
the runtime archive of this REA version, the build settings in the
registration or the environment, and the skill. Each failure names its fix.
It also reports, without counting them against `healthy`, whether a model
endpoint for solver runs is configured and which agentenv containers
earlier builds left. Pass `--json` for the full report.
When a setting is unset where the server starts, REA uses `agent-env` and
`docker` on `PATH` and the archive setup packed for this REA version. The
rest of this page is the same setup by hand.
## Requirements
- A Linux host on amd64 or arm64 with about 20 GB of free disk for the
images agentenv builds and pulls. amd64 and arm64 hosts both build
natively; a host builds only its own architecture.
- Node.js at the version in `.nvmrc`, installed with
[nvm](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm) or from
[nodejs.org](https://nodejs.org/en/download), and REA
[run from a checkout](getting-started/installation.md#run-rea-from-a-checkout).
- [Docker Engine](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/) and its
[post-install steps](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/linux-postinstall/):
add yourself to the `docker` group, then log in again.
- agentenv-framework 0.9.1464, the version bundles target. Install
[uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/) first, then
run `uv tool install agentenv-framework==0.9.1464`. Set
`REA_AGENT_ENV_COMMAND` to the absolute path of the resulting `agent-env`
program, normally `$HOME/.local/bin/agent-env`; `command -v agent-env`
shows the path when its install directory is on your `PATH`. Installing it
with pip into a virtual environment instead needs `python3.12-venv` on
stock Ubuntu. REA runs its
helper, `bridge/agentenv/computer.py`, with that runner's Python: the
interpreter on the program's `#!` line, or the `python3` beside it in its
virtual environment.
- Docker, and an agentenv-framework install whose `agent-env` program is named

runner's Python: the interpreter on the program's `#!` line, or the

## Claude Code
Without `--desktop-build`, `rea setup --client claude_code` registers REA
without these variables. Either
export them in the shell that starts `claude`, which starts REA's server with
its environment:
```bash
export REA_AGENT_ENV_COMMAND="$HOME/.local/bin/agent-env"
export REA_DOCKER_COMMAND="$(command -v docker)"
export REA_BUILD_COMPUTER_REA_ARCHIVE="$HOME/rea-runtime/rea-prod.tar.xz"

setup wrote, such as in `~/.claude.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"rea": {
"command": "/absolute/path/to/node",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/rea/scripts/rea.mjs", "mcp"],

}

```
Solver runs are `agent-env run` commands the agent runs in its shell, and
agentenv refuses them without a model endpoint: export `LITELLM_BASE_URL` and
`LITELLM_API_KEY` in the shell that starts `claude`, whose Bash tool inherits
them, or set `base_url` and `api_key` under `[model]` in
`.agentenv/config.toml`.
Claude Code asks before each MCP tool call its permission settings do not
allow, and a build makes dozens of `act_on_build_computer` calls. You can
allow REA's tools in those settings' `permissions.allow` list:
`mcp__rea__act_on_build_computer` allows that tool, and `mcp__rea` allows all
of REA's.
A headless run, `claude -p`, ends when the skill asks its upfront questions,
and refuses the tool calls its permission settings do not allow. Put the
answers in the request: the install source when the app is not in the Ubuntu
archive, a synthetic seed or the file to start from, whether to review the
task before solver runs, and the solver runs' count, model and budget, or
none:
```bash
claude -p 'Build me a Gnote environment where the agent adds olive oil to the
shopping list note. Make a synthetic note. Then make 2 solver runs with
<model>, at most $4 in all, without a review first.'
```

app on the `ubuntu-24.04` base with the `reference` driver that installs the

sources the capture found, its limitations and the draft: each file under
the paths the export owns that changed between `seed` and `end`, with its
net change and, for XML files, archives, JSON and key files, its `values`,
the values the change added, changed and removed with what each was and
became, at the pointer a check names it by; suggested checks with a
placeholder prompt; and `guards`, optional checks that the rest kept its
seed values: like siblings' fields, each line kept beside new text, and
the count of a list whose members were only edited. The draft's
[task section](desktop-application-tasks.md#describe-the-change) describes
each. `notes`, each with a `code` and a `message`, say why a draft has no
files: `no_change` when no file under the home changed between them and
nor did the app's dconf keys; `unowned_changes` when files changed but
none under the owned paths, listing up to five in `files` with their
roles, desktop files last, and counting the rest in `more`;

listing the database in `files`, since no check reads dconf (a version
the capture kept no copy of, as it keeps none of the database at the
start, is `unreadable_changes`, not an empty key list);
`unreadable_changes` when a dconf database changed but REA could not read

7. `export_build_environment` with the task and a new or empty `directory`.
The export runs inside the computer with `--seed-checkpoint seed
--end-checkpoint end`, so it seeds what was saved at `seed`, scrubs the
computer's host name and user from it, and refuses a task whose checks
all pass on the seed. It also passes `--synthetic-seed`, since the agent
made the seed for the task, so the README does not call it the user's real
data. When the seed holds exactly one document and the app's desktop entry
takes files, the bundle's app opens that document at launch. A file moved
to the desktop Trash is not seeded, and the export's limitations name what
the Trash held at `seed`. The limitations and the README also name the
folders where files changed during the capture that the bundle neither
owns nor seeds, such as settings that keep a first-run wizard away, up to
eight collapsed to their top folder, such as `~/.config/MuseScore`, and a
count of the rest; capture again with them in `state_paths` to own them.
Lock files the app holds while it runs, such as LibreOffice's profile
`.lock` and its document lock `.~lock.<name>#`, GnuCash's
`<book>.LCK` or Grisbi's `.<file>.lock` beside its file, are left out of
the seed, since a copied one can keep the app from starting or saving. The
limitations and README list them after "Left out of the seed". A project's
`Cargo.lock` or `yarn.lock`, a document or a path in `state_paths`, and app
logs that are not locks are seeded. The limitations name seeded
WebKit or Chromium storage and caches too, which the app keeps for its
own running. When the application held files open in a folder whose
starting content the capture did not retain, a limitation names the
folder and the seed files in it. For a
all pass on the seed. A task larger than 96 KiB as REA passes it to the
computer is refused before anything runs. It also passes `--synthetic-seed`,
since the agent made the seed for the task, so the README does not call it

the request's URL with `--package-url`; one apt offers installs from apt.
Either way the request's `dependencies` reach the export as
`--extra-package`, as an archive request's `extra_packages` do, so a
runtime piece the agent named, such as MyPaint's `librsvg2-common`, is
installed beside the app; the limitations and the README list them,
except the app itself and dependencies the bundle already names for a
`.deb` it installs from the file. REA lists the bundle's files
with their sizes and SHA-256 in the computer, into a file beside the

outgrows a command's output; it then brings the files back through the

each answer into the folder before asking for the next, so one answer at

8. `close_build_computer`.
A checkpoint name is lowercase letters, digits, dot, dash and underscore; the
capture's own `baseline`, `stop`, `time-limit` and `exit` are refused, and so
is a name already taken. The acknowledgement comes from the capture after it
has walked the home and retained what changed: `entries` walked, `changes`
since the checkpoint before, `retained_files` and `retained_bytes`, and up to
ten `changed_files`, home-relative, with `more_changed_files` counting the
rest. Folders are left out. Files an app window's title has named so far
come first, as a document saved and no longer held open is in Gnumeric, LyX
or Tiled; then files named themselves in `state_paths`; then those the app
holds open, those under a selected folder and those in its state
directories; then the rest; and caches and WebKit, Chromium or QtWebEngine

every 0.5 s and grades once every file's bytes have held for 3 s, counted
from the read that returned them. 15 s after the first read began, it grades
the last completed read: no read starts then, and one still running is cut.
It sends progress notifications while it waits. The result's `settled` says
whether the files settled, and `read_cut` whether the bound cut a read; each

A `cancelled` result does not by itself determine the exit status. Commands
that handle SIGINT or SIGTERM assign `130` or `143` after their operation and
cleanup settle; their structured result can be printed before that status is
assigned. Read the process status and typed result separately.
`rea environment-export` is one-shot: it prints the written files and exits
`0`, or prints a structured `invalid_request` error and exits `1` for the same
pair refusals, a non-empty or file-occupied directory, a missing package
tarball or a name that is not a kebab-case label or is a Windows device name,
writing nothing in each case. A file occupying the destination is reported as
requiring a directory; identity-change diagnostics are reserved for admitted
paths that fail later identity checks. Host permission failures identify whether
input reading or bundle writing was denied and retain the reported path.
A write that fails after the first file (a permission, disk-space or
pathname-length failure on a later path) propagates as the host's failure,
naming its cause and, when it failed on one bundle file or the package
tarball, that file. A failure while syncing the finished folder names only its
cause. Either way the partial folder stays in place for inspection; remove it
before retrying, since the next attempt refuses the non-empty directory.
Commands with `--evidence_output` save the complete Evidence bundle before
delivering the selected view. For committed-file receipts, retained partial
Evidence and missing source records, see
[Evidence publication and source recovery](../reference/mcp-contracts.md#evidence-publication-and-source-recovery).
Other outputs have their own receipt shapes; for example,
[environment export](#export-an-environment-bundle) reports a published directory.
A `cancelled` result does not by itself determine the exit status; it depends on
the command's signal handling. Commands routed through the shared
`withCommandCancellation` handler in the CLI set status `130` for SIGINT or
`143` for SIGTERM after their operation settles. Current source registrations
use that handler for process capture and comparison (`capture-process`,
`compare-process-captures`), desktop application capture and state
(`capture-desktop-application`, `inspect-desktop-application-state`,
`export-desktop-application`, `describe-desktop-application-task`), JavaScript application analysis (`analyze` when it
selects the JavaScript lane, and `analyze-javascript-application`), selected
browser, web and Electron commands (including `analyze-web-bundle`,
`observe-web-execution`, `capture-browser-scenario` and
`capture-electron-scenario`), and the platform and provider command families
for Android/ADB, Apktool/JEB/Flutter, firmware, PCAP and signal analysis,
WASM/EVM, Go/Rust and binary diagnostics, Frida instrumentation, the Cutter
command, objdump, Rizin and GDB, and the agent environment server
(`environment-serve`). The handler also wraps `doctor`,
`inspect-sqlite-database`, `recover-javascript-sources`,
`inspect-il2cpp-metadata`, and `inspect-desktop-application`. In these paths, a returned structured
`cancelled` result can be printed before the wrapper assigns the
signal-derived status. This describes the current source routing; it is not a
claim that every command or provider runtime has been independently exercised.
Commands with `--evidence_output` select their delivered view, then publish the
complete Evidence bundle atomically. Cancellation before publication leaves no
new file. A publication that has committed can win a later cancellation; the
`cancelled` result then keeps the written path and byte count under
`details.diagnostics.evidence_bundle`. If staging cleanup stays incomplete
after commit, the `cleanup_incomplete` error reports the same file as
`details.published_path` and `details.bytes`.
When a failure retains a completed observation and no bundle committed,
`details.source_closure` states what that observation cites. `publication` is
`not_published`. `records` holds authentic source Evidence this invocation
captured, within 64 KiB. `omitted` lists up to 64 other identities and
`omitted_count` the total: `not_captured` means the invocation holds no such
record, so nothing is shown for it or its ancestors; `not_inlined` means it was
captured but is not in this response. `complete` is true only when every cited
record is in `records` or embedded in the observation. If examining the closure
itself fails, `collection_failure` names the error type and the closure state is
unknown; the original failure is still returned. Nothing is retained after exit,
and running the command again is a new observation.

### Run REA from a checkout
To run code that is not released yet, build a checkout with the Node.js
version in `.nvmrc`:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/morluto/rea.git
cd rea
npm ci
npm run build:cached
```
Then run `npm link` once in the checkout to put its `rea` on your `PATH`, or,
wherever these docs say `rea …`, run
`node /absolute/path/to/rea/scripts/rea.mjs …`. Setup run this way registers
the checkout's `scripts/rea.mjs` with your agents.
After `git pull`, run `npm ci` and `npm run build:cached` again. If the
checkout's skill changed, refresh each installed copy before restarting its
agent. For example, preview and review the Claude Code skill changes:
```bash
rea setup --skill-client claude_code --dry-run --json
```
Then apply the reviewed changes with `rea setup --skill-client claude_code --yes --json`.
Substitute the relevant skill client; use the checkout's
`node /absolute/path/to/rea/scripts/rea.mjs` form if `rea` is not linked. For desktop builds, also pack the [build computer's runtime
archive](../desktop-build-computer.md#requirements) again.

## Selecting and recovering string-pool observations
`inspect_dart_aot` accepts `pool_policy`; the CLI uses `--pool-policy` JSON:
```sh
rea inspect-dart-aot app.apk --pool-policy '{"contains":"package:my_app/"}'
rea inspect-dart-aot app.apk --pool-policy '{"uri_limit":2000,"token_limit":4000,"run_bytes":4096,"token_bytes":256}'
```
A literal, case-sensitive `contains` filter runs before distinct collection,
so an omitted URI or identifier can be selected without returning every other
string. URI/token counts describe matching entries; `printable_run_count` counts
complete printable runs before filtering. Unset budgets preserve the defaults:
500 returned entries per URI category, 2000 identifier-like tokens, 1024 bytes
per printable run, and 128 bytes per identifier. Budget values must be positive
safe integers. Collection retains at most twice the selected category limit;
counts remain lower bounds when that capacity is reached. A run exceeding
`run_bytes` is omitted whole, rather than reported as a fabricated prefix.
The result names the budget reached, and `string_pool.policy` records the
selected filter and effective values. A larger budget or a narrower selection
applies to the next call without a REA restart; explicit choices stay in Evidence.
For a larger package-URI inventory, select the category and its relevant budget:
```sh
rea inspect-dart-aot app.apk --pool-policy '{"contains":"package:","uri_limit":2048}'
```
The equivalent MCP input is `pool_policy: {contains: "package:", uri_limit: 2048}`.
This recovers all bounded package-URI observations in the measured Gallery and
LocalSend APKs. Check the result's limits and coverage for other targets; long
runs and unsupported snapshot layouts remain separate limitations. The
[calibration report](../../verification/flutter-budget-calibration.md)
keeps the default at 500 because increasing every complete overview also delivers
more strings when they are unnecessary. Use `detail: "summary"` for the MCP
identity/count task described above.
These controls do not raise APK, ELF, library or response budgets, deserialize
Dart objects, or establish typed class/function semantics. Retained
`inspect_analysis_view` pages cover the returned selection; exhausting those

A proven synchronous filesystem read or awaited promise-based read supplies a

status, candidate paths and resolution limitations remain separate; an unresolved
path never becomes a resolved file. Opaque inventoried cache bytes can remain

# V8 code cache inspection
`inspect_v8_code_cache` reads one explicitly selected V8 code cache container as static
bytes: a bytenode `.jsc`, the bytes `vm.Script.createCachedData()` writes, or a cache
carried inside a Node single-executable application or an Electron app. It never executes
the file, never starts a V8 runtime, never installs bytenode, and never invokes a
decompiler.
```bash
rea inspect-v8-code-cache /absolute/path/to/module.jsc --json
rea inspect-v8-code-cache /absolute/path/to/module.jsc --minStringBytes 8 --json
```
The MCP tool is `inspect_v8_code_cache` with the same inputs and the same retained
Evidence.
## What is read
A V8 code cache is a producer-written container, not a documented file format. This reader
admits one container shape and reports everything else as an observation, so a build it
has never seen still yields facts instead of a false parse.
The 32-byte header is eight little-endian 32-bit words. Every word is reported in
`header.fields` with its byte offset, its observed value, the role this reader believes it
has, and how confident that role is:
| Offset | Role | Status |
| -------------- | -------------- | ----------- |
| `0x00` | magic | confirmed |
| `0x04` | version hash | inferred |
| `0x08` | source length | confirmed |
| `0x0c` | flag hash | inferred |
| `0x10` | build constant | inferred |
| `0x14` | payload length | confirmed |
| `0x18`, `0x1c` | reserved | unconfirmed |
`confirmed` means the role is demonstrated by the reader's own tests against the producer.
`inferred` means the word's behaviour is consistent with the role but a different producer
could plausibly differ. `unconfirmed` means the word is reported and nothing more is
claimed.
Only three facts gate admission:
1. the header size this reader pins (32 bytes);
2. the V8 code cache magic high half, `0xc0de`. The low half is
`ExternalReferenceTable::kSize` and varies per V8 build, so it is reported as a build
fingerprint and never required to match a fixed value;
3. the declared payload length must equal the bytes that follow the header exactly.
`header.source_length` is the producer's recorded source length in UTF-16 code units.
V8's serializer calls this field the source hash; on the producers measured here its value
equals the source length exactly, including sources whose UTF-8 byte length differs, so the
reader reports it under the name the measurement supports. Treat that name as an
observation, not as a claim about what any other build stores there.
`header.producer` names the producer family from the flag bits in that word. Bit 29
marks `vm.compileFunction` (`compile_function`); bit 30 marks `vm.SourceTextModule`
(`module`). When neither flag is present, the producer remains `unknown`:
`vm.Script`, bytenode output and older unflagged function caches cannot be
separated by those bits alone. The source-length mask is `0x1fffffff`, so both
flags sit outside the reported length. This describes the admitted header
profile rather than a version-independent V8 ABI.
## Failed inspection and provenance
After a stable read completes, format and observation-budget refusals retain a
`file-snapshot-hash` partial observation with the selected path, exact SHA-256 and
byte count. This proves which bytes were read; it does not claim the format was
successfully decoded. A refusal before read completion does not invent an identity.
Descriptor cleanup remains owned for retry if finalization fails.
## Embedded byte patterns
`embedded_strings` lists printable runs found in the payload, each with its absolute byte
offset in the selected file and its observed byte length. `min_string_bytes` (default 4)
sets the shortest reported run; `max_strings` caps how many may be reported, and exceeding
it fails without partial success.
These are **byte-pattern observations inside serialized V8 heap data, not parsed heap
objects**. A reported run is not proof V8 retained it as a string. A literal that is absent
from the payload is not proof it is absent from the program: V8 may encode a string in a
form the run scan does not surface, and a string can be produced at runtime rather than
retained.
A run longer than 4096 bytes is reported with `truncated: true` and a `retained_bytes`
prefix.
## Limitations
Every result states these, and they are part of the contract:
- the payload is serialized V8 heap data, not source; no logic is recovered and no
bytecode is decompiled;
- recovering logic needs a version-pinned V8 decompiler (View8-style) that this tool
neither provides nor depends on;
- header roles beyond magic, source length, and payload length are version-dependent
observations;
- the tool never executes the selected file and never claims recovered source.
## Failure behaviour
An unknown magic is a typed `unsupported_target` failure, because the file is not a V8
code cache. A short header, a payload-length disagreement, or bytes past the declared
payload is a typed `invalid_request` failure. Neither produces completed inspection
Evidence; the stable-read partial observation described above is retained when available.
`max_file_bytes` (default 32 MiB, ceiling 64 MiB) is the caller-selected read budget. The
payload SHA-256 is computed over the declared payload, so two containers with the same
payload length and content but different version hashes have different whole-file digests
and identical payload digests.
## Relationship to other tools
- `inspect_binary_layout` reads the surrounding ELF/PE container of a single-executable
application; it does not decode the embedded code cache.
- A cache embedded in a Node single-executable application or an Electron app must be
**extracted first**: this reader admits a container whose magic is at byte zero, so
passing the surrounding ELF/PE executable here returns `unsupported_target`. Run
`extract_artifact` on the application, then pass the extracted `.jsc` path to this tool.
- `inspect_artifact` inventories the file without decoding V8 structures.
- This tool is in the same family as `inspect_python_pyc`, `inspect_erlang_beam`, and
`inspect_kernel_module`: one explicit local file, bounded parsing, no execution.

### Resource admission
The static provider defaults to a 128 MiB eagerly retained PE snapshot and a
separate conservative 64 MiB budget for metadata, CIL decoding and projected
inspection records. All three static inspection tools accept
`max_snapshot_bytes` and `max_metadata_representation_bytes` as positive safe
integers in bytes. CLI inspection and path comparison expose
`--max-snapshot-bytes` and `--max-metadata-representation-bytes`. An omitted
value keeps its default; explicit values apply to that call without a restart.
Snapshot refusal names its selected byte budget and tells the caller to raise
it for the same complete file. Representation exhaustion retains partial or
unavailable coverage and names the selected budget in its `resource-limit`

for members. For example:
```bash
rea inspect-managed-members /absolute/path/Assembly.dll --max-snapshot-bytes 268435456 --max-metadata-representation-bytes 134217728

## Observations
The inline Evidence result contains the artifact path, SHA-256, and byte
length, plus ELF class, byte order, machine, and object type.
`eh_frame.status` is `present`, `absent`, `incomplete`, or `unknown`. A
present table names its source: `section` when section headers name
`.eh_frame`, or `program` when section headers are missing and
`PT_GNU_EH_FRAME` supplies the bytes. `location` is the file range that was
examined. A `.eh_frame` section that is `SHT_NOBITS` or lies outside the file
is `incomplete` with a null `location`. One that runs past the end of the
file is `incomplete`, `location` is clamped to its in-file bytes, and the
records in those bytes are still decoded. Only the first `.eh_frame` and
`.eh_frame_hdr` section is decoded, and only the first `PT_GNU_EH_FRAME`
program header. A duplicate section, or a duplicate `PT_GNU_EH_FRAME` when no
`.eh_frame_hdr` section supplies the header, keeps `coverage.status` at
`incomplete`.
`eh_frame_hdr` reports version, the three pointer encodings, the `.eh_frame`
pointer, the declared FDE count, and how many binary-search table entries
were decoded. A header section that is `SHT_NOBITS` or extends past the end of
the file is `incomplete` with a null `location` and is not decoded.
`coverage.eh_frame_hdr_agreement` is `agree` when the table has exactly one
row per decoded FDE, the sorted starts match including repeats, and each row
points at a distinct FDE with that start. It is `disagree` otherwise, and
`unavailable` when the header is absent, unknown, or incomplete. Disagreement
is a limitation. The decoded FDEs stay in the result. The search table is
read for at most `max_ranges` rows, and for no more rows than the header bytes
can hold. When the declared FDE count is larger than either bound, the header
is `incomplete`, `table_entries` counts only the rows read, the comparison is
`unavailable`, and a limitation names the cap. A declared count that does not fit
in 32 bits is not decoded: `fde_count` is null, the header is `incomplete`,
and the decoded FDEs stay in the result. A header whose FDE count encoding is
`DW_EH_PE_omit` (`0xff`), as GNU ld writes when it cannot build the search
table, is `present` with a null `fde_count`, no table rows, and comparison
`unavailable`; it does not make coverage incomplete. A header that declares
an FDE count but writes `DW_EH_PE_omit` as its table encoding is `present`
with that count, no table rows, and comparison `unavailable`, and also keeps
coverage complete. A non-zero FDE count under an indirect encoding is the
address of a slot that is not followed, so `fde_count` is null, the header is
`incomplete`, and the table is not read.
When section headers name both `.eh_frame_hdr` and `PT_GNU_EH_FRAME`, the
section is decoded. A limitation names the segment as ignored only when it
declares different bytes than the section. When no `.eh_frame_hdr` section is
named, the header is read from `PT_GNU_EH_FRAME` even if a `.eh_frame`
section is present.
A record whose length word is `0xffffffff` uses the 64-bit extended length
that follows it. In `.eh_frame` the CIE ID and CIE pointer after that length
stay 4 bytes wide.
`DW_EH_PE_datarel` fields in `.eh_frame_hdr` are relative to the header
address. In `.eh_frame` they are relative to the GOT: `DT_PLTGOT` when the
dynamic table names it, otherwise the `.got.plt` or `.got` section address.
A limitation names the base that was used. When no GOT base is declared,
those values are unresolved: the affected record is not reported and
`coverage.status` is `incomplete`.
`debug_frame.status` is `present`, `absent`, `incomplete`, or `unknown`. It
is `unknown` when the image has no section headers or unreadable section
names. It is `incomplete`, with a null `location` and `coverage.status` at
`incomplete`, when the section is `SHT_NOBITS` or its bytes are not all in
the file. The `.eh_frame` results stay in the report. This command does not
decode `.debug_frame`.
`cies` lists the CIEs that the returned page's ranges name, in index order,
so its length never exceeds the page size. Each `cie_index` in `ranges`
matches the `index` of one entry in `cies`. `coverage.total_cies` counts every
decoded CIE, including CIEs no FDE on this page uses. Each CIE reports
version 1 or 3, augmentation, code and data alignment,
return-address register, pointer encoding, LSDA encoding, personality address
when the augmentation carries one, signal-frame and B-key flags, and the byte
length of the CFA program. CFA instructions are counted and not evaluated.
A CIE whose augmentation has a letter other than `z`, `L`, `P`, `R`, `S`, or
`B` is not decoded: the encodings of later letters cannot be trusted, so its
FDEs are not decoded either. A limitation counts those FDEs and coverage is
`incomplete`.
`ranges` is one page of FDEs. Each range has `start`, `end`, decimal `size`,
the containing `SHF_ALLOC` section, an exact symbol name when a symbol starts
at that address, the CIE index, LSDA, and personality. A function symbol is
preferred, then an `STT_GNU_IFUNC` symbol, then an untyped one. An IFUNC name
is the resolver that starts at that address, not the implementation it
selects at run time, and a limitation says so. Symbol names, section names,
and augmentation strings are target-derived and untrusted. Indirect EH
pointers are not dereferenced. An FDE whose initial location is indirect names
a pointer slot, not its function, so it is not reported as a range; a
limitation counts those FDEs and coverage is `incomplete`. An indirect
`eh_frame_ptr` does not locate `.eh_frame`, and the header is `incomplete`.
A search table with an indirect encoding is not read: the header is
`incomplete`, the comparison is `unavailable`, and the table does not bound a
header-located `.eh_frame`.
An encoded pointer whose stored value is zero is a null pointer, as libgcc
reads it: no PC-relative, text, data, or function base is added and an
indirect pointer is not followed. A resolved address, and an FDE `end`,
wraps at the ELF address width (32 or 64 bits), as libgcc's pointer
arithmetic does. A zero LSDA pointer is reported as a null
`lsda`, even when the CIE declares an LSDA encoding. An FDE whose initial
location is zero marks a function the linker discarded. It is not reported
as a range, `examined_records` still counts it, and a limitation counts how
many were skipped. In a relocatable object an unrelocated initial location
is also zero, so those FDEs are skipped too.
`page` reports `offset`, `limit`, `returned`, `total`, and `next_offset`.
`next_offset` is null when the page reaches the end of the decoded list.
`coverage` counts every decoded range, every decoded CIE, how many ranges
match a symbol, and how many do not. `examined_records` counts CIE and FDE records visited, including
records that could not be decoded.
A missing `.eh_frame` section and a missing `PT_GNU_EH_FRAME` segment are
observed absence of those declarations. That absence is not proof the image
has no functions. Program headers come from the shared ELF section
directory, which rejects an image whose program-header table cannot be read,
so a missing `PT_GNU_EH_FRAME` is always observed absence. When section
headers are missing too, section names are unknown, so a missing header is
`unknown` rather than `absent`.
A `.eh_frame` located only through the `.eh_frame_hdr` `eh_frame_ptr` has no
section size, so it is read up to the end of its `PT_LOAD` segment. Other
data, such as `.gcc_except_table`, can follow it there. When the search table
was decoded, the scan stops after the last FDE the table names, as libgcc's
`PT_GNU_EH_FRAME` lookup only binary-searches that table. Later bytes are not
decoded and a limitation says so. Without a usable table, the scan stops at
the first record that fails to decode, as libgcc's linear FDE search does,
and `coverage.status` is `incomplete`. A CIE with an unrecognized
augmentation letter, or an FDE that uses one, also stops that scan. Reaching the end of the segment with
no terminator also keeps coverage `incomplete`, because the table's extent is
then unknown.
Addresses map to file offsets through `SHF_ALLOC` sections, then `PT_LOAD`
segments. A section without `SHF_ALLOC`, such as `.comment` or `.debug_*`,
is not loaded, so its `sh_addr` is never used for translation and it is never
reported as the section containing a range. A record that ends past the table, or non-zero bytes after
the terminator, keeps `coverage.status` at `incomplete`. Relocatable objects
stay incomplete because relocations are not applied.
## Limits and failures
The selected file is limited to 64 MiB by default (512 MiB maximum).
`max_ranges` defaults to 8192 and caps at 65536. That ceiling applies
separately to CIE records and to FDEs. Exceeding either budget fails without
partial success. One page returns at most 4096 ranges. Symbol lookup stops
after 65536 entries across `.symtab` and `.dynsym` combined. Reaching that
cap keeps `coverage.status` at `incomplete`. Only symbols at decoded FDE
starts are kept, and a name is decoded only for a returned range. The names
on one page share a fixed 16 MiB text allowance; a page that exceeds it fails
with a resource error whose recovery is a smaller `limit`, because
`max_ranges` and `max_file_bytes` do not raise it.
Malformed ELF headers fail without partial success. This workflow does not
execute the image, evaluate CFA programs, or follow indirect pointers.

# Linux kernel build config
`inspect_kernel_build_config` / `inspect-kernel-build-config` reads the
`Linux version` banner and the embedded `.config` from one selected local
kernel image without executing or booting it. Accepted inputs are a `vmlinux`
ELF, a raw arm64 `Image`, an x86 `bzImage` or `zImage` whose payload is gzip,
and a `configs.ko` module. It does not require a Linux host,
`extract-ikconfig`, or `/proc/config.gz`.
```bash
rea inspect-kernel-build-config /absolute/path/to/vmlinux --json
rea inspect-kernel-build-config /absolute/path/to/bzImage --name CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX --json
```
The CLI resolves relative paths against the caller's working directory. MCP
requires an absolute filesystem path and preserves that exact selection:
```json
{
"name": "inspect_kernel_build_config",
"arguments": { "path": "/artifacts/vmlinux", "name": "CONFIG_MODULE_SIG" }
}
```
## Observations
The inline Evidence result contains the artifact path, SHA-256, and byte
length. `format` is `elf` when the file starts with the ELF magic and `file`
otherwise.
`banner` is the first printable string that starts with `Linux version `
followed by a version token beginning with a digit and ends at a NUL or
newline within 512 bytes. `version` is that token. `builder` is the first
parenthesized group (`user@host`). `compiler` is the second group up to the
last `) #`, so nested parentheses in compiler strings are kept. The banner is
`absent` when no such string was found in the searched bytes and `unknown`
when the bytes were not searched.
`config` is `present` only when all of the following hold:
- `IKCFG_ST` is immediately followed by a gzip member (`1f 8b 08`).
- The member inflates within `max_config_bytes` and its CRC-32 and ISIZE
trailer match.
- The member trailer ends exactly at the first `IKCFG_ED` after the gzip
header. Inflation reads only the bytes up to that marker.
- Every non-blank line of the inflated text is a `#` comment,
`# CONFIG_X is not set`, or `CONFIG_X=value`, and the text is valid UTF-8
with no control bytes other than tab, CR, and LF.
An `IKCFG_ST` string that is not followed by gzip magic, or whose complete
member is not followed by `IKCFG_ED`, is skipped, so an ordinary string is never
reported as a config. When `IKCFG_ST`, gzip magic, and a later `IKCFG_ED` frame
a member that does not decode, a deflate stream cut off by that marker, a
member that fails its CRC-32 or ISIZE check, or text that fails the grammar,
the config is `malformed` with coverage
`incomplete`, and `marker`, `gzip`, and `end_marker` locate the blob. A
malformed blob is never reported as an absent config. A valid config later in
the searched bytes still wins. `marker`, `gzip`, and `end_marker` give
the three ranges. `sha256` hashes the inflated text. `option_count` counts
every `CONFIG_*` line. `matched_count` counts the options that match the
optional exact `name` filter, and `entries` is the `offset`/`limit` page of
those matches in file order.
Each entry has a `name`, a `kind`, and a `value`:
| `kind` | Source line | `value` |
| --------- | -------------------------- | ------------------------- |
| `y`, `m` | `CONFIG_X=y`, `CONFIG_X=m` | `y` or `m` |
| `number` | decimal or `0x` hex | the text as written |
| `string` | `CONFIG_X="..."` | decoded text (`\"`, `\\`) |
| `not_set` | `# CONFIG_X is not set` | `null` |
Banner text and configuration values are target-derived and untrusted.
## bzImage payloads
A file with `HdrS` at offset `0x202` is an x86 setup header. From boot
protocol 2.08, `payload_offset` and `payload_length` locate the compressed
kernel after the `(setup_sects + 1) * 512` setup code. `payload` reports the
container, codec, file range, and inflated length. A gzip payload is inflated
within `max_payload_bytes` and the inflated bytes are searched. Locations in
those bytes have `space: "inflated_payload"` and are offsets in the inflated
payload, not file offsets. Only the leading gzip member is inflated, and its
own ISIZE trailer gives the inflated length. Kbuild appends a separate 4-byte
size only for the non-gzip codecs. Any bytes after the gzip member inside the
payload are not read.
xz, lz4, lzma, zstd, bzip2, and lzo payloads are `unsupported`. The result
names the codec and `external_decompression` as the next probe. This is an
external step, not a REA operation: decompress the payload with the matching
utility into a separate file, then call `inspect_kernel_build_config` on that
file. A file that is itself a compressed stream, including a whole-file gzip
such as `Image.gz`, is reported as `unsupported` with its codec and is not
inflated. Only a gzip payload inside a bzImage is inflated.
## Limits and failures
The selected file is limited to 64 MiB by default (512 MiB maximum). An IKCFG
member may inflate to 4 MiB by default (32 MiB maximum) and a bzImage payload
to 128 MiB by default (512 MiB maximum). At most 16384 `CONFIG_*` options are
examined by default (65536 maximum). A page holds 256 entries by default
(4096 maximum). Exceeding any budget fails with no partial success and names
the option to raise. An IKCFG member past `max_config_bytes` fails that way only
when no later candidate is accepted, so an oversized decoy cannot hide a valid
config.
One search inflates at most 16 `IKCFG_ST` gzip candidates and at most four
times `max_config_bytes` of output across them. A candidate whose stream fails
partway through is charged its full per-candidate allowance, since its partial
output is not measured. When that search budget runs
out before a config is accepted, the config is `incomplete` with reason
`config_search_exhausted` instead of failing or reporting an absent config.
Inflation runs off the event loop. Every scan, including marker
searches that find nothing, config text checks, validation of one long value,
and hashing, yields to it at least once
per MiB, so a cancellation that arrives while the image is being parsed is honored
at the next check. One inflate call runs to its output bound once started.
Results that could not search or read the kernel bytes stay `incomplete`,
`malformed`, or `unsupported` and are never
reported as an absent config:
| `config.reason` | Meaning |
| ---------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `config_gzip_invalid` | a framed `IKCFG_ST` gzip member does not decode or fails its CRC-32 or ISIZE |
| `config_text_invalid` | a framed `IKCFG_ST` gzip member is not `.config` text |
| `config_gzip_truncated` | an `IKCFG_ST` gzip member runs past the searched bytes |
| `config_search_exhausted` | decoy candidates used up the config search budget |
| `payload_truncated` | the declared bzImage payload or its gzip member ends early |
| `payload_gzip_invalid` | the bzImage gzip payload fails to inflate or its trailer |
| `payload_codec_unsupported` | a compressed payload or whole-file stream was not inflated |
| `unrecognized_payload_codec` | the bzImage payload starts with no known codec magic |
| `setup_header_payload_unavailable` | the setup header predates 2.08 or has no payload length |
A kernel built without `CONFIG_IKCONFIG` carries no embedded config, so an
`absent` config describes only the bytes that were searched. A kernel built
with `CONFIG_IKCONFIG=m` keeps the config in `configs.ko`; inspect that module
instead of the image. This workflow does not execute the image, compare the
config with a source tree, or evaluate Kconfig dependencies.

# ELF and Mach-O initializer functions
`inspect_native_initializers` / `inspect-native-initializers` lists the
functions that one local ELF or Mach-O image declares to run before `main` and
at exit. It reads the file without executing it and does not need a
disassembler provider.
```bash
rea inspect-native-initializers /absolute/path/to/program --json
rea inspect-native-initializers ./Universal.app/Contents/MacOS/App --architecture arm64 --json
```
The CLI resolves relative paths against the caller's working directory. MCP
requires an absolute filesystem path:
```json
{
"name": "inspect_native_initializers",
"arguments": { "path": "/artifacts/program", "offset": 0, "limit": 64 }
}
```
A universal Mach-O requires `architecture` to select one slice. ELF files and
thin Mach-O files do not take it.
## Sources
ELF entries are listed in this order:
| Kind | Source |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `preinit_array` | `DT_PREINIT_ARRAY` / `DT_PREINIT_ARRAYSZ`, else `.preinit_array` |
| `init` | `DT_INIT` |
| `init_array` | `DT_INIT_ARRAY` / `DT_INIT_ARRAYSZ`, else `SHT_INIT_ARRAY` or `.init_array*` sections |
| `ctors` | legacy `.ctors` and `.ctors.*` sections |
| `fini` | `DT_FINI` |
| `fini_array` | `DT_FINI_ARRAY` / `DT_FINI_ARRAYSZ`, else `SHT_FINI_ARRAY` or `.fini_array*` sections |
| `dtors` | legacy `.dtors` and `.dtors.*` sections |
Section fallback applies when the dynamic tag is absent, as in static
executables and relocatable objects. Mach-O entries come from sections typed
`S_MOD_INIT_FUNC_POINTERS` (`mod_init`), `S_INIT_FUNC_OFFSETS`
(`init_offsets`) and `S_MOD_TERM_FUNC_POINTERS` (`mod_term`).
## Entries
Each `entries[]` item reports:
- `slot_va`, `slot_file_offset`, `slot_bytes` and `slot_section`: where the
pointer or offset is stored. For a universal Mach-O, file offsets are
relative to the whole file, not the slice. For `init` and `fini` the slot is
the `DT_INIT` / `DT_FINI` value field in the dynamic section. When that field
is outside every load segment, `slot_va` and `slot_section` are null and a
limitation says so.
- `value_va`, `value_file_offset` and `section`: the resolved target address,
its file offset and its containing section. These are null when the value
was not established. A file offset is also null when load segments map the
address ambiguously (overlapping segments with different file offsets, or
file and zero-fill memory), and the report is then `incomplete`.
- `symbol`: a defined symbol whose value equals the target exactly, or the
import name of an unresolved symbolic relocation or chained bind.
- `resolution`: how the value was obtained.
| Resolution | Meaning |
| ------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `raw` | The stored word, used when no relocation or fixup covers it |
| `relative_addend` | An `R_*_RELATIVE` relocation addend (RELA, or the REL in-place word) |
| `relr` | A `DT_RELR` packed relative relocation |
| `symbol_addend` | A section relocation against a defined symbol plus its addend |
| `chained_fixup` | A Mach-O chained-fixup rebase target |
| `dyld_info_rebase` | A Mach-O `LC_DYLD_INFO` rebase opcode target |
| `offset_table` | A 32-bit `__init_offsets` value added to the image base |
| `unresolved_import` | A relocation or bind against an undefined symbol |
| `unresolved` | A slot whose value this inspection cannot establish |
A bound import name over the 1024-byte name budget is reported as no name and
makes the report `incomplete` with a counted limitation.
Symbol and section names are untrusted file text and carry
`trust: "observed-untrusted"`.
For PIE executables and shared objects the array slots are usually zero on
disk. A slot is reported `unresolved`, never as its stored zero, when the
dynamic relocation tables use an encoding this inspection does not decode
(for example Android packed relocations or an unsupported machine). Relative
relocations are decoded for x86-64, i386, AArch64 and 32-bit ARM. A slot is
also `unresolved` when a dynamic relocation writes only part of it, starts
inside it, or writes it more than once with different values.
Section `REL` / `RELA` tables are applied to slots that no dynamic relocation
covers. When such a table is skipped for an unexpected entry size, cannot be
read, or lies past the record budget, every slot it could reach that has no
relocation found is `unresolved`, and a `.ctors` slot is not dropped as a
sentinel. A section record that writes only part of a slot, starts inside it,
or repeats it also leaves the slot `unresolved`. In a relocatable object a
table reaches only the section named by its `sh_info`. In a linked image, a relocation section without `SHF_ALLOC`
(such as one kept by `--emit-relocs`) was already applied by the static
linker, so the slot's stored word is used rather than applying the record
again.
An absolute relocation against an `STT_GNU_IFUNC` symbol is `unresolved`: the
symbol value is the resolver, and the loader stores whatever the resolver
returns.
On 32-bit ARM (ELF `EM_ARM` and Mach-O `CPU_TYPE_ARM`), bit 0 of a function
pointer selects Thumb state. `value_va` keeps the pointer as stored, while
`value_file_offset` and `section` describe the code address with that bit
cleared. A Mach-O symbol is matched at either address.
In a relocatable object (`ET_REL`) every section starts at address 0. Slot
and value addresses are offsets inside the named section, and a limitation
says so.
Mach-O pointer slots are decoded through chained fixups or `LC_DYLD_INFO`
opcodes for linked little-endian arm64 and x86-64 images. Other linked images,
including 32-bit ones, have no fixup decoder here: their stored word is used
only when the image declares no `LC_DYLD_INFO` bind stream, and a pointer slot
is `unresolved` otherwise. Legacy external relocations (`LC_DYSYMTAB`
`nextrel`) are not decoded, so they make an otherwise raw pointer slot
`unresolved` in any image. In an object file (`MH_OBJECT`), each section's own
relocation entries set the slot: a pointer-width `UNSIGNED` entry against a
defined symbol gives `symbol_addend`, one against an undefined symbol gives
`unresolved_import`, a section-ordinal entry keeps the stored address, and any
other entry leaves the slot `unresolved`. An `arm64_32` image that declares a
64-bit header is rejected as malformed, since its pointers are four bytes.
`.ctors` and `.dtors` values `0` and `-1` are list sentinels and are omitted.
`-1` means all ones at the image's pointer width: `0xffffffff` in ELF32 and
`0xffffffffffffffff` in ELF64. A 64-bit slot holding `0xffffffff` is listed.
A stored zero in an initializer array is listed, so the array length stays
visible.
## Paging and limits
`offset` and `limit` page the ordered list (default limit 64, maximum 4096).
`coverage.examined_entries` counts every slot read, including omitted
sentinels, and `total_entries` (the listed entries) is set when the inventory
is complete. At most 65536 slots are examined; beyond that, or when relocation
coverage is unknown, `status` and `coverage.status` are `incomplete`.
ELF symbol names come from at most 65536 symbols across all `SHT_SYMTAB` and
`SHT_DYNSYM` tables together, and section `REL` / `RELA` relocations from at
most 1048576 records across all relocation sections together. Mach-O symbol
names come from at most 65536 symbols across all `LC_SYMTAB` commands
together; a repeated `LC_SYMTAB` over the same ranges is ignored with a
limitation. Reaching any of these budgets makes the report `incomplete` with a
limitation.
A symbol name that cannot be read, because its string table is missing or its
offset lies outside the table, is reported as no name and makes the report
`incomplete` with a counted limitation. Name offset 0 is the empty name.
The dynamic relocation tables are read in steps that yield to other work and
observe cancellation, so a large `DT_RELR` table does not block the server.
`limitations` lists the standing limitations, then at most 24 distinct
observations from the image. Reasons a crafted table can repeat per row, such
as symbol names over the 1024-byte budget or relocation sections with an
unexpected entry size, are reported once with a count, and observations past
the 24-note budget are counted in one closing line. The list never exceeds 40
lines.
The selected file is limited to 64 MiB by default (`max_file_bytes`, 512 MiB
maximum). Malformed headers, multiple `PT_DYNAMIC` segments and truncated
dynamic sections fail without partial success.
This inspection does not prove that a listed address runs, and file order is
not the runtime order: `DT_FINI` is listed before `fini_array`, while the
dynamic linker runs `fini_array` first, and `.ctors` runs in reverse order. A
missing tag or section is observed absence of that declaration, not proof that
no code runs before `main`.
Legacy Mach-O bind lookup examines at most 4096 candidate runs per query and
at most twice the file byte count across the decoded image's queries. These
resource allowances bound sparse, overlapping run descriptions without expanding
them into per-address objects. Exhaustion leaves pointer applicability unresolved
and the report incomplete. Bind-stream parsing and initializer batches yield so
other requests and cancellation can run.

`FileAttributes` as raw values plus documented names, creation/access/write
FILETIMEs as a raw 64-bit decimal and ISO-8601 UTC when the timestamp is in
range, file size, icon index, `ShowCommand` (`normal`, `maximized`, or
`minimized`), and hotkey modifiers. Undocumented `ShowCommand` values are
decoded as `normal`, as specified.
`id_list` is present when `HasLinkTargetIDList` is set. Each item keeps its
file offset, size, and type byte. Root-folder, volume, and file-entry items
are decoded when those layouts match documented shell-item headers, including
the 8.3 short name on a file entry. Every other item is `raw` with a SHA-256
of its payload. Unknown items are not guessed.
`link_info` reports volume drive type, serial, label, local base path, and
common network relative link names, with Unicode variants when the header
declares them. ANSI strings use a byte-preserving Latin1 projection; the
original system ANSI code page is unobserved.
`string_data` reports name, relative path, working directory, command-line
arguments, and icon location according to `LinkFlags`, each with encoding,
`CountCharacters`, byte length, and the decoded value. `IsUnicode` selects
UTF-16LE; otherwise the Latin1 projection is used.
`extra_data` enumerates every block: signature, size, and offset.
`EnvironmentVariableDataBlock` and `IconEnvironmentDataBlock` expose ANSI and
Unicode targets. `TrackerDataBlock` exposes the NetBIOS machine id and droid /
birth-droid GUIDs. Version-1 UUID MAC and timestamp values are labelled
`evidence_kind: "derived"`. `KnownFolderDataBlock` and `SpecialFolderDataBlock`
keep their folder identifiers. `ConsoleFEDataBlock` keeps the code page.
`PropertyStoreDataBlock` and unrecognized signatures stay raw with SHA-256.
Unknown signatures are listed and are not dropped.
`observations` are derived only from those documented fields: whether
arguments are present, argument character length, target extension, whether
`ShowCommand` is minimized, and whether the icon location differs from the
recorded target path. That comparison is `null` unless the icon and a recorded
target are both full paths: a stored filename, relative path, or `%VAR%` form
cannot show that two locations differ. This workflow does not emit verdicts
about intent.
A missing optional section is observed absence of that structure. It is not

## Limits and failures
The selected file is limited to 1 MiB by default (16 MiB maximum). At most 256
IDList items (4096 maximum) and 64 ExtraData blocks (1024 maximum) are
examined by default. Retained string payload bytes across StringData,
LinkInfo, and ExtraData are limited to 64 KiB by default (1 MiB maximum).
Malformed `HeaderSize` or `LinkCLSID`, and exhausted budgets, fail without
partial success. Truncation after a valid header, ExtraData size overruns, and
odd Unicode lengths return partial coverage with `coverage.failing_offset`.
A LinkInfo offset that points outside its structure is reported at the
offset field itself, so every issue offset lies inside the file.
Coverage is never `complete` when issues are present.
The selected path must be a regular file. Symbolic links are rejected.
UNC paths and other host-prefixed device paths, such as `\\server\share\a.lnk`
and `\\?\UNC\server\share\a.lnk`, are rejected before any filesystem call. On
Windows, a path whose parent directory is a symbolic link or junction is
rejected before anything follows that link. The check covers the directories
Windows opens after removing `.` and `..`, so `C:\alias\..\real\a.lnk` is
checked at `C:\real` only; a `\\?\` path is checked as written. A mapped
network drive cannot be told apart from a local drive by its path and is not
rejected.
This workflow does not resolve, open, or execute the link target or call COM,
and it does not contact a network for a path on a local volume.

CLI commands await provider cleanup before returning; MCP retains these resources for cleanup when its server closes. Server shutdown stops admitting new Frida operations and waits for admitted startup, discovery, and queued work before releasing their resources. A failed cleanup remains reported and can be retried by closing the server again, rather than treating an unregistered session as fully released.

Select `capture_limits` on `start_frida_session` or `instrument_with_frida` before observing: `session_bytes`, `message_type_bytes`, `message_text_bytes`, `json_nodes`, and `json_depth`. Omitted fields keep these defaults. The session allowance includes JSON/base64 expansion, the envelope and metadata; a budget too small for one complete event retains no event. Depth is bounded to 992 levels, reserving eight enclosing message/status/Evidence containers within REA's shared JSON representation limit. These are retention budgets, independent of target authority, observation duration and MCP/client delivery limits. The selected policy is fixed for that session and returned as `capture_limits` in observations; no REA restart is required. The CLI exposes `--capture-session-bytes`, `--capture-message-type-bytes`, `--capture-message-text-bytes`, `--capture-json-nodes`, and `--capture-json-depth`.

Evidence retains non-authentication target selection such as device or endpoint, mode, program or PID, and spawn arguments. Authentication values remain excluded. Results report the observed session and messages, while unsupported platform metadata remains unknown. A request cancelled before a Frida operation starts has no provider effects. If cancellation arrives during a native Frida call, REA waits for that call to return, then closes any session it created and returns the observed session as a partial observation. A cancelled script load on an existing session releases only its new script before queued operations can run; the session and previously loaded scripts remain available. If cancellation is observed when the native call returns, partial Evidence retains the source identity and captured messages even if that call rejects, including messages emitted during awaited cleanup. The caller's cancellation reason remains primary and a native rejection is retained as a sanitized diagnostic. A failure already observed before cleanup stays primary if cancellation arrives during cleanup. The cancellation cutoff is REA's observation of native completion, rather than a claim about unobservable native event order. `script_id` is REA's load-attempt identity.

Once the provider commits a successful load, later request cancellation does not unload that script; use `unload_frida_script` to release it. If script cleanup fails, the script remains owned and a paused target cannot resume until the pending instrumentation is released.

that operation's policy; CLI equivalents are `--max-input-bytes`,

Byte allowances are positive safe integers; nesting is bounded by REA's
advertised maximum of 996 levels, derived by reserving four enclosing
reply/Evidence levels within the 1,000-level JSON representation. Input admission also covers expanded SAZ
members and protobuf descriptor/body reads. Reply admission covers the complete
child reply and protobuf interpretation work. These choices do not raise the
separately owned worker heap, CPU limits or client deadline/receive buffer.
Record selection takes place after complete decoding, so it cannot bypass
whole-capture admission. A refusal names the exhausted control; increase that
control and retry the same unchanged capture after cleanup. No completed capture
Evidence exists for a refused decode.
Complete evidence has a 32 MiB input, 96 MiB decoder reply and 64-level nesting
budget. Those budgets have no runtime override. `capture_timeout_ms` does not
raise them. Exceeding a budget returns no partial success.
Oversized selected captures return an input error identifying `capture_path`
and the byte budget; owned reply/output failures remain output or provider errors.
An explicit complete-reply refusal names the 100663296-byte allowance and its
lack of a runtime override. Record selection, paging, delivery mode and worker
memory do not increase that allowance; a smaller producer export is a narrower
observation, and the refusal leaves no completed capture Evidence to retrieve.

facts as partial observations. Malformed or unvalidated replies are not promoted.
HAR, SAZ and qlog run in an owned Node old-generation heap with one V8 worker.
`REA_CAPTURE_DECODER_OLD_GENERATION_MIB` is a decimal integer of mebibytes from
8 to 16384. Unset uses 192, the previous constant. Invalid values fail
configuration and name the setting; they do not fall back to 192. The setting
seeds the launch value. In MCP, set `capture.decoder_old_generation_mib`
through `update_analysis_settings` for decoders belonging to newly accepted
operations, without restarting REA. Changing the launch environment still
requires a new process. A memory failure names the effective mebibytes, known
source, default, floor, and maximum. The decoder
passes that value as `--max-old-space-size` and removes inherited
`NODE_OPTIONS`, so additional host memory and `NODE_OPTIONS` do not raise the
heap. The 8 MiB semi-space stays fixed; a smaller old generation aborts Node

Linux limits of 768 MiB address space, 30 seconds CPU and 96 MiB file output;
both commands use `capture_timeout_ms` (default 30000) and independently supervised
process cleanup. Owned decoder diagnostics retain at most 1 MiB across stdout
and stderr; the collector drops overflow as it arrives, reports the limit
failure and verifies cleanup. Heap limits alone do not establish aggregate RSS limits.
SAZ and qlog refuse decoding when neither a Node heap limit nor a Windows Job Object bound can be enforced. Existing HAR availability is preserved.
When REA runs on Bun, the HAR/SAZ/qlog decoder runs on Bun, which ignores these V8 heap
flags; its limitations and resource failures then omit the V8 heap sizes. On
Windows, the decoder's owned Job Object instead limits its committed memory to
the effective `REA_CAPTURE_DECODER_OLD_GENERATION_MIB` value plus a 512 MiB
reserve for Bun itself. The default 192 MiB setting therefore yields 704 MiB.
The limitations state that limit, and reaching it returns `resource_constraint`

hosts enforce no decoder heap limit, so raising the setting does not bound them.

Complete evidence defaults to an 8 MiB map, 32 MiB codec reply and a shared
Complete evidence is bounded by a 4 MiB map, 32 MiB codec reply and a shared
262144-record decoder budget. Generated rows, mapping segments, leaf maps,
source and name declarations, `sourcesContent` entries and indexed sections all
consume this budget. Generated rows and mapping segments also each have a
262144 limit; indexed maps default to 64 nested section levels. Select per-call
`source_map_limits` to change these admissions. Exceeding a budget returns an explicit
262144 limit; indexed maps allow at most 64 nested section levels. Those budgets and the
192 MiB codec heap have no runtime override. Exceeding a budget returns an explicit
failure, without partial results. The existing 32 MiB manifest and 16 MiB selected
script boundaries also apply. No global toolchain or browser configuration changes
are made.
## Compact point delivery and retained source text
Summary delivery is useful for large point answers. Complete output can answer
a small-map task with fewer calls. The
[delivery qualification](../../verification/source-location-delivery.md)
records measured task costs and first-use discovery tradeoffs.
Complete delivery remains the default and includes raw map text and embedded source
content. Select `detail: "summary"` in MCP, or `--detail summary` with
`--evidence_output /analysis/source-point.json` in CLI, to retain the same complete
Evidence and return body-free point metadata. Summary includes source/map/manifest
identity, requested and matched generated positions, original source positions,
content digests and sizes, match count, runtime qualifications and limitations.
MCP returns the summary Evidence directly; its `normalized_result.parent_evidence_id`
identifies the complete parent. CLI returns `{ summary: <Evidence>, evidence_bundle:
{ path, bytes } }`; read `summary.normalized_result.parent_evidence_id` and use the
published bundle path for later views. The receipt byte count describes the written
complete Evidence bundle.
Delivery selection does not enter that parent's analysis parameters or change its ID.
Summary returns the first metadata page (up to 64 matches and 1 MiB), with explicit
`coverage.total`, `coverage.next_offset` and `coverage.exhausted`. Every equal-position
alternative remains in the parent, including duplicate reported names, distinct
indexed-section/source indexes and generated-only segments. Page exhaustion describes
the retained lookup alternatives; execution and deployment authenticity remain unknown.
For another page, call `inspect_analysis_view` with the same retained parent:
```json
{
"source": {
"kind": "retained-evidence",
"evidence_id": "<parent_evidence_id>"
},
"view": {
"kind": "source-location",
"collection": "matches",
"offset": 64,
"limit": 64
}
}
```
Source text is explicit. Select `collection: "source-text"`, an original
`match_index` from the metadata page, and UTF-16 `offset`/`limit` (default 0/1024).
For a snippet around the mapped point, use its `original_position.offset` when
known. The result preserves content digest/size and total code units, returns only
the selected text, and reports text-page coverage. Unretained or generated-only
content returns `item: null` and unavailable coverage. An offset splitting a
surrogate pair is rejected; a page never splits a complete Unicode character.
Both collections accept `max_bytes` (default 1048576), independently of their
row/code-unit limit and MCP response limits. A byte refusal names the allowance
and retained parent: select a smaller page or increase `max_bytes`, then retry
without decoding again. A large individual identity may require a larger view
allowance or complete export. Complete map text and diagnostics remain in the parent.
An optional `view` can accompany `detail: "summary"` on the initial trace, returning
that selected page immediately. `view` with complete delivery is rejected before
artifact acquisition. Summary also refuses before acquisition when session retention
or the CLI Evidence output is unavailable.
These views read retained facts even after the original map is removed. CLI can read
the saved parent with `inspect-analysis-view` and an `evidence-file` source pointing
to the written bundle; select its `evidence_id` when the bundle has multiple records.
MCP can export the complete session with `export_evidence_bundle`. A complete MCP
response that exceeds transport admission retains its parent and supplies a
`source-location` matches continuation.
## Selecting budgets and recovering the same map
Both `trace_web_source_location` and `analyze_web_bundle` accept an optional
`source_map_limits` object. Omitted fields retain the defaults above and stay
omitted in Evidence parameters. An update applies on the next call without a
REA restart. Failure text names the exact field, effective value, supported
range and next action; increasing a deadline does not change any of these
budgets.
| Field | Default | Scope |
| ------------------ | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `map_bytes` | 8388608 | Local selected map admission, enforced before reading and again by the codec |
| `output_bytes` | 33554432 | Complete local request/reply or aggregate fetched-map representation |
| `decoded_rows` | 262144 | Generated rows before upstream allocation |
| `decoded_segments` | 262144 | Mapping segments before upstream allocation |
| `decoded_records` | 262144 | Shared structural work across leaves, declarations, rows, segments and sections |
| `section_depth` | 64 | Indexed-section nesting |
| `codec_heap_mib` | 192 | Local codec old-generation request; process-memory enforcement remains host dependent |
| `fetch_bytes` | 67108864 | Aggregate response bytes and, independently, resolved-identity bytes |
The local 8 MiB admission covers the pinned 4,284,329-byte main map and 5,529,840-byte
DateSelect map from Actual Budget without an admission retry. This is an artifact
compatibility allowance, not a context or latency optimization: complete Evidence
retains raw map text, and those two measured replies estimate 1.59 and 2.23 million
tokens. A smaller admission refuses the map; it does not compact successful
Evidence. MCP retains complete Evidence before encoding; an oversized response
returns its retained reference for `export_evidence_bundle`, or callers can use
complete CLI JSON. Select opt-in compact delivery above to keep complete Evidence accessible while returning only point metadata or an explicitly selected text page.
Browser collection keeps its separate conservative defaults; see the
[calibration record](../../verification/source-map-budget-calibration.md).
Local tracing accepts all listed fields except `fetch_bytes`. Bundle fetching
accepts all except `map_bytes` and `codec_heap_mib`: it uses its existing
inspection process rather than launching the local codec. Unsupported fields
are rejected rather than silently ignored. Byte fields are bounded below
Node's single-string representation ceiling, record fields by the signed
32-bit decoder coordinate range, section depth by the same supported count range and shared structural admission,
and heap requests by the existing 128..16384 MiB worker envelope. These bounds
remain independent; a larger map can require a larger encoded request budget
and codec heap, and the outer MCP client still owns its receive buffer/deadline.
For example, a valid 10 MiB selected local map can be retried with:
```json
{
"source_map_limits": { "map_bytes": 16777216 }
}
```
Keep the original manifest/map/point selection in that retry. The CLI spelling
is `--source-map-bytes 8388608`; the other local flags are
`--source-map-output-bytes`, `--source-map-decoded-rows`,
`--source-map-decoded-segments`, `--source-map-decoded-records`,
`--source-map-section-depth` and `--source-map-codec-heap-mib`.
`analyze-web-bundle` instead offers `--source-map-fetch-bytes` and the shared
output/record/depth flags. Raising only `decoded_records` does not raise the
independent row or segment budgets. Failed local decoding returns no partial
point evidence; completed browser map observations retain their existing
partial/unknown semantics. Wait for retained cleanup to settle before retrying.

refuses with that admission cause. Confirmed SEA blob admission still returns a
typed resource failure. ELF note-owner matching reads only the prefix needed to distinguish

Видели сте функция в приложение и искате същата във вашия продукт? Помолете агента си да я проучи с REA. Той може да изследва приложението без изходния му код, да обясни как работи функцията, да покаже доказателствата и да изгради подобна версия за вашия проект.
REA свързва агента ви с инструменти за изследване на нативни бинарни файлове, JavaScript и Electron приложения, .NET асемблита и уебсайтове. Същите инструменти можете да използвате и от терминала. Анализът се извършва локално, а резултатите включват доказателствата и ограниченията зад всеки извод.
Настройката регистрира REA в агента ви и инсталира съответните инструкции за работния процес. Нативният анализ може да използва вече инсталиран Hopper, Ghidra, IDA или Kuna; по желание настройката може да инсталира Hopper след ваше одобрение. Статичният анализ на JavaScript не изисква двигател за нативен анализ.
> **[Посетете уебсайта на REA](https://rea.tools/)** за инструкции за настройка, илюстрирани ръководства и реални казуси.
## Бърз старт
В Linux стартирането на Ghidra, JADX и инструментите за фърмуер, както и
статичният анализ на JavaScript/Electron, изискват съвместима с procps команда
`ps` в `PATH` на REA за проверките кой процес на кого принадлежи. Стъпките за
отстраняване на проблема са в `docs/getting-started/installation.md`, в раздела
„Linux owned-process prerequisite“.
### Настройте агента си
След като имате инсталирани Node.js и npm, изпълнете:
```bash
npx rea-agents setup
```
Изберете агентите си, прегледайте предложените промени и ги одобрете. Настройката
добавя MCP сървъра на REA и съответните инструкции за работния процес, като прави
резервни копия на съществуващата конфигурация. След това рестартирайте агента.
Настройката записва директно избраната среда за изпълнение и входния скрипт на
REA. Ако сте получили REA чрез инструмент за изпълнение на пакети (package
runner), не изтривайте записа му в кеша. Изтегляйте пакета от доверена
директория извън целевия проект. Подробности за инсталирането и отстраняването на
проблеми има в ръководството за настройка по-долу.
Настройката поддържа Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Grok Build и
[други агенти](../getting-started/installation.md#supported-agents). Вижте
[инсталиране и настройка](../getting-started/installation.md) за конфигуриране на
доставчици на анализ, ръчна регистрация на MCP и инсталиране на плъгина за
Claude Code/Codex.
По подразбиране MCP използва компактни входни схеми, за да заема по-малко от
контекста. Задайте `REA_MCP_INPUT_SCHEMA_PROFILE=full` в MCP регистрацията си,
когато са ви нужни пълните описания на полетата и подробностите за вложената
валидация. И двата профила запазват пълния набор от инструменти и каноничната
валидация на сървъра. Вижте „Compact input schema profile“ в ръководството за MCP
договорите.
По подразбиране се обявяват пълните изходни схеми. Ако клиентът ви ограничава
размера на цялата рамка `tools/list`, задайте
`REA_MCP_OUTPUT_SCHEMA_PROFILE=compact`, за да ограничите всяка обявена изходна
схема, или `off`, за да пропуснете изходните схеми изцяло. И двете настройки
запазват каноничната валидация от страна на сървъра и пълните структурирани
резултати. Вижте „Output schemas“ в ръководството за MCP договорите.
### Попитайте агента си
```text
Разбери как работи търсенето в приложението Notes, покажи ми доказателствата и
изгради подобна функция за моя проект.
```
Заменете Notes с целевото си приложение и функцията, която искате да разберете.
### Използвайте терминала
Изследвайте директорията на разархивирано JavaScript/Electron приложение или ASAR
архив:
```bash
npx -y rea-agents@latest analyze-javascript-application /absolute/path/to/app --json
```
Резултатът включва модули, импорти, границите на Electron и доказателствата за
тях. Заменете пътя с вашата цел, например `"D:/apps/example"` в Windows.
За да инсталирате командата `rea` за редовна употреба:
```bash
npm install --global rea-agents
rea --help
```
За нативен анализ първо конфигурирайте доставчик на анализ. Вижте
[ръководството за CLI и Evidence](../getting-started/cli.md) за нативните
команди, избора на доставчик, моментните снимки (snapshots) и скриптирането.
### Обновяване на REA
REA се променя бързо и новите издания често съдържат поправки на грешки.
Поддържайте инсталацията си актуална.
За CLI, инсталиран с `npm install --global` или `bun add --global`:
```bash
rea update
```
`rea --update` е псевдоним на същия проверен процес и приема същите глобални
флагове за изхода. Използвайте `rea update`, когато го комбинирате с други опции
на командата.
Командите за обновяване запазват общо най-много 4 MiB от stdout и stderr. Твърде
големите отговори с метаданни се отхвърлят след приключване на командата;
подробните (verbose) инсталации продължават с ограничена диагностика. Изходът за
напредъка, предназначен за хора, се съобразява с обратното налягане
(backpressure) на терминала и изчаква изпратените записи да завършат.
Глобалните обновявания чрез Bun изискват Bun 1.2.17 или по-нова версия. При
по-стара версия първо обновете Bun ръчно и след това изпълнете `rea update`.
За да опресните регистрациите в агентите и умението (skill), изпълнете командата
за настройка, която обновяването отпечатва.
Ако използвате `npx`, обновете настройката на агента си с:
```bash
npx rea-agents@latest setup
```
Прегледайте промените от настройката и рестартирайте агента. За еднократни CLI
команди използвайте `npx rea-agents@latest`, последвано от командата. С Bun
използвайте `bunx rea-agents@latest` вместо `npx rea-agents@latest`.
## Как работи REA
Агентът ви извиква REA чрез MCP, за да изследва целта и да проследи съответния
код. REA връща констатации заедно с доказателствата за тях. Агентът ги използва,
за да задава допълнителни въпроси, да обяснява поведението или да напише и тества
реализация. CLI командите използват същите работни процеси.
![Процес на изследване с REA: агентът ви пита за локална цел, REA я изследва и проследява с инструменти за анализ, а агентът използва върнатия код, препратките и неизвестните, за да обясни, реализира и тества.](../../website/public/assets/figures/rea-investigation-flow.svg)
[Отворете фигурата в пълен размер](../../website/public/assets/figures/rea-investigation-flow.svg).

За офлайн проверка на нативни бинарни файлове REA поддържа и предоставени от вас
GNU objdump и Rizin. Вижте
[ръководството за инструменти за обратно инженерство](../reverse-engineering-tools.md)
за настройка на доставчиците, CLI командите и ограниченията на Evidence. REA не
инсталира и не обновява нито един от двата доставчика.
<a id="choosing-a-deep-analysis-provider"></a>
Поддържаните нативни формати и операционни системи зависят от доставчика. Вижте
[настройката на Hopper и Ghidra](../getting-started/installation.md#hopper),
[ръководството за IDA](../providers/ida-provider.md) (включително незадължителен
нативен MCP мост), [ръководството за декомпилатора Kuna](../kuna-provider.md) и
[експерименталната поддръжка на Ghidra за Windows](../providers/windows-ghidra-p0.md).
Ghidra поддържа и [анализ на 16-битов DOS код](../providers/ghidra-dos.md). За
големи бинарни файлове увеличете времето за стартиране на доставчика с
`REA_GHIDRA_STARTUP_TIMEOUT_MS` или `REA_HOPPER_STARTUP_TIMEOUT_MS`. За избора
на доставчик вижте [ръководството за CLI](../getting-started/cli.md#choose-a-provider).
Проверете [наличността в изданията](../getting-started/installation.md#released-package-and-main)
за функции, добавени след последното издание в npm.

### DX-Ball: реконструиране на изчислението на звуковата панорама
Проследете извикване на звук до помощната функция, която превръща позицията в
панорама, изследвайте инструкциите и превърнете непълния псевдокод в C.
Реконструкцията минава 3 205 тестови случая спрямо оригиналния x86 код и
възпроизвежда всичките 63 байта на компилираната функция.

### Notion: проследяване на моста за клипборда в Electron
Открийте API-то за клипборда в renderer процеса, проследете го през preload
скрипта и IPC до главния процес и изследвайте формата за форматирано съдържание
в клипборда.

### Създавайте RL среди с REA
Запишете сесия в уеб приложение, превърнете неговото API в инструменти и експортирайте среда, която AI агент може да използва. Стартирайте я с AgentEnv, след което добавете задачи и проверки за награда за RL обучение или оценка.

Ако сте използвали REA за нещо интересно, ще се радваме да го видим. Споделете
случая си в [issue](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues) или
[pull request](https://github.com/morluto/rea/pulls), като включите целта,
въпроса си, как ви помогна REA и какво открихте.
<a id="build-rl-environments"></a>
## Създаване на RL среди
Дайте на AI агент локална среда, в която да упражнява задачи като намиране на issue или създаване на папка, без да стартира оригиналното приложение. Използвайте я за обучение с подсилване (reinforcement learning, RL) или за да проверите колко добре агентът изпълнява задачи.
REA превръща записаните API заявки и отговори в инструменти, които агентът може да извиква. Средата използва записаните данни и поддържа промени само когато записът потвърждава ефекта им.
След като REA е настроен в агента ви, заменете примерния URL адрес и задачите с папки по-долу със свои:
```text
Използвай REA, за да изградиш RL среда от тестовото ми уеб приложение на
http://127.0.0.1:3000.
Обхвани извеждането на списък, създаването, преименуването и изтриването на
папки. Можеш да създаваш и премахваш тестови папки. Не променяй съществуващите
данни.
Запази я в папка с име my-env. Провери кои операции работят и ми кажи как да я
стартирам.
```
<details>
<summary>Използвайте командния ред вместо това</summary>
Използвайте тези команди, ако вече имате файл със записаните от браузъра заявки и отговори на приложението. За да стартирате резултата, са нужни и AgentEnv, и Docker.
```sh
rea environment-build ./session.har ./my-env --name my-env --json
agent-env run ./my-env
```
</details>
REA експортира готова за стартиране среда с базов тест, който проверява дали тя стартира и отговаря. Използвайте я с вашата RL рамка, за да зададете целите на задачите, да добавите проверки за награда и да стартирате обучението.

### Среди за настолни приложения
REA може да създаде среда за Linux настолно приложение: агентът го управлява чрез снимки на екрана, мишка и клавиатура. От кратка заявка агентът инсталира приложението, създава задача, експортира средата и я проверява на нов компютър. За изграждането са необходими Linux на amd64 или arm64, Docker и версията на agentenv, посочена в ръководството.
[Настройка на среди за настолни приложения](../desktop-build-computer.md)
## Често задавани въпроси
<details>
<summary><strong>Кои агенти могат да използват REA?</strong></summary>
Всеки агент, който поддържа локални MCP сървъри. Настройката конфигурира
[поддържаните агенти](../getting-started/installation.md#supported-agents);
другите клиенти могат да използват
[ръчна MCP регистрация](../getting-started/installation.md#mcp-registry).
</details>
<details>
<summary><strong>Нужен ли ми е двигател за нативен анализ?</strong></summary>
Задълбоченият нативен анализ използва Hopper, Ghidra, IDA или Kuna в зависимост
от целта и операцията. Статичната проверка на JavaScript и .NET работи без
двигател за нативен анализ. Настройката може да инсталира Hopper след ваше
одобрение; Ghidra, IDA и Kuna се използват от вече съществуващите ви инсталации.
Вижте [настройката на доставчиците](../getting-started/installation.md#hopper)
за възможностите и поддържаните от тях цели.
</details>
<details>
<summary><strong>Трябва ли първо да стартирам Hopper?</strong></summary>
REA стартира Hopper, когато дадена операция се нуждае от него. В macOS при първо
стартиране може да се появи диалогов прозорец, който ви пита дали да изберете
демо режим, или да активирате лиценза си. Завършете този диалог в същата
потребителска сесия преди първата си CLI/MCP операция или задача, която ще се
изпълнява без надзор. При нужда отворете Hopper ръчно. Вижте
[стартиране и отстраняване на проблеми с Hopper](../getting-started/installation.md#launcher-paths-and-troubleshooting).
</details>
<details>
<summary><strong>Какво прави инсталирането на умението (skill) от skills.sh?</strong></summary>
Умението дава на агента ви инструкции как да провежда изследвания. Използвайте
`npx rea-agents setup`, за да регистрирате MCP сървъра на REA и да инсталирате
съответните инструкции, след което рестартирайте агента. Вижте
[инсталиране само на умението](../getting-started/installation.md#skill-only-installation).
</details>
<details>
<summary><strong>Какъв код връща REA?</strong></summary>
Нативният анализ връща псевдокод и асемблер. Анализът на JavaScript/Electron
възстановява модулите и връзките между тях. Агентът ви използва тези
констатации, за да напише и тества реализация; [примерите](#примери) показват
цялостни разработени случаи.
</details>
<details>
<summary><strong>Качва ли REA приложението ми някъде?</strong></summary>
REA анализира целите локално. Агентът ви получава резултатите от инструментите,
а доставчикът на модела, който агентът използва, има собствена политика за
данните.
</details>
<details>
<summary><strong>Какво да направя, ако попадна на грешка?</strong></summary>
Първо обновете; възможно е скорошно издание вече да я е поправило.
За CLI, инсталиран с `npm install --global` или `bun add --global`:
```bash
rea update
```
За настройка на агента чрез `npx`:
```bash
npx rea-agents@latest setup
```
Ако използвате агент, извършете
[опресняването на настройката](#обновяване-на-rea) и го рестартирайте. Опитайте
отново същата задача. Ако проблемът продължава,
[отворете issue](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues), като посочите версията
на REA, типа на целта, стъпките за възпроизвеждане и изхода с грешката.

### Περιβάλλοντα εφαρμογών επιφάνειας εργασίας
Το REA μπορεί επίσης να δημιουργήσει περιβάλλον για μια εφαρμογή επιφάνειας εργασίας Linux, την οποία ο πράκτορας χρησιμοποιεί μέσω στιγμιότυπων οθόνης, ποντικιού και πληκτρολογίου. Από ένα αίτημα μίας γραμμής, όπως «Φτιάξε μου ένα περιβάλλον Gnote όπου ο πράκτορας προσθέτει ελαιόλαδο στη σημείωση με τη λίστα αγορών», ο πράκτοράς σας εγκαθιστά την εφαρμογή σε έναν τοπικό υπολογιστή κατασκευής, γράφει την εργασία, εξάγει το περιβάλλον και ελέγχει την εργασία σε έναν νέο υπολογιστή. Ο υπολογιστής που το κατασκευάζει χρειάζεται Linux σε amd64 ή arm64, Docker και την έκδοση του πλαισίου agentenv που ορίζει ο οδηγός.

MCP usa esquemas de entrada compactos por defecto. Para ver todas las instrucciones de campos y la validación anidada, establece `REA_MCP_INPUT_SCHEMA_PROFILE=full` en el registro MCP. Ambos perfiles conservan todas las herramientas y la misma validación canónica del servidor; consulta la guía de contratos MCP.
La configuración registra directamente el entorno de ejecución elegido y el script de entrada de REA. Si usas un ejecutor de paquetes, conserva su entrada de caché y el entorno de ejecución; descarga el paquete desde un directorio de confianza fuera del proyecto objetivo. Consulta la guía de instalación.
Los esquemas de salida completos se anuncian por defecto. Si tu cliente limita `tools/list`, establece `REA_MCP_OUTPUT_SCHEMA_PROFILE=compact` o `off` en el registro MCP. La validación del servidor y los resultados estructurados siguen siendo completos. Consulta «Output schemas» en la guía de contratos MCP.

### Entornos de aplicaciones de escritorio
REA también puede crear un entorno de una aplicación de escritorio de Linux, que un agente usa mediante capturas de pantalla, el ratón y el teclado. A partir de una petición de una línea, como «Créame un entorno de Gnote en el que el agente añada aceite de oliva a la nota de la lista de la compra», tu agente instala la aplicación en un ordenador de compilación local, escribe la tarea, exporta el entorno y comprueba la tarea en un ordenador nuevo. El equipo que lo crea necesita Linux en amd64 o arm64, Docker y la versión del framework agentenv que fija la guía.

Da una richiesta di una riga, come «Creami un ambiente Gnote in cui l’agente aggiunge l’olio d’oliva alla nota della lista della spesa», il tuo agente installa l’app su un computer di build locale, scrive l’attività, esporta l’ambiente e verifica l’attività su un computer nuovo. La macchina che lo crea richiede Linux su amd64 o arm64, Docker e la versione del framework agentenv indicata dalla guida.

MCP は既定でコンパクトな入力スキーマを使用します。完全なフィールド説明と入れ子の検証情報が必要な場合は、MCP 登録に `REA_MCP_INPUT_SCHEMA_PROFILE=full` を設定してください。どちらも全ツールと同じ正規サーバー検証を維持します。詳細は MCP 契約ガイドを参照してください。
セットアップは選択したランタイムと REA のエントリースクリプトを直接登録します。パッケージランナーを使う場合は、そのキャッシュ項目とランタイムを残し、対象プロジェクト外の信頼できるディレクトリからパッケージを取得してください。 インストールガイドを参照してください。
出力スキーマはデフォルトで完全なものが公開されます。クライアントが `tools/list` を制限する場合は、MCP 登録で `REA_MCP_OUTPUT_SCHEMA_PROFILE=compact` または `off` を設定してください。サーバー側の検証と構造化結果は完全なままです。 MCP 契約ガイドの「Output schemas」を参照してください。

### Środowiska aplikacji desktopowych
REA może też zbudować środowisko aplikacji desktopowej dla Linuksa, z której agent korzysta przez zrzuty ekranu, mysz i klawiaturę. Z jednowierszowej prośby, takiej jak „Zbuduj mi środowisko Gnote, w którym agent dodaje oliwę z oliwek do notatki z listą zakupów”, twój agent instaluje aplikację na lokalnym komputerze budującym, pisze zadanie, eksportuje środowisko i sprawdza zadanie na nowym komputerze. Maszyna, która je buduje, potrzebuje Linuksa na amd64 lub arm64, Dockera i wersji frameworka agentenv wskazanej w przewodniku.

O MCP usa esquemas de entrada compactos por padrão. Para obter todas as orientações de campos e validação aninhada, defina `REA_MCP_INPUT_SCHEMA_PROFILE=full` no registro MCP. Ambos os perfis mantêm todas as ferramentas e a mesma validação canônica do servidor; veja o guia dos contratos MCP.
A configuração registra diretamente o runtime escolhido e o script de entrada do REA. Ao usar um executor de pacotes, mantenha sua entrada de cache e o runtime; obtenha o pacote em um diretório confiável fora do projeto alvo. Consulte o guia de instalação.
Os esquemas de saída completos são anunciados por padrão. Se o cliente limitar `tools/list`, defina `REA_MCP_OUTPUT_SCHEMA_PROFILE=compact` ou `off` no registro MCP. A validação do servidor e os resultados estruturados continuam completos. Consulte “Output schemas” no guia de contratos MCP.

### Ambientes de aplicativos de desktop
O REA também pode criar um ambiente de um aplicativo de desktop Linux, que um agente usa por capturas de tela, mouse e teclado. A partir de um pedido de uma linha, como "Crie um ambiente do Gnote em que o agente adiciona azeite à nota da lista de compras", seu agente instala o aplicativo em um computador de build local, escreve a tarefa, exporta o ambiente e verifica a tarefa em um computador novo. A máquina que o cria precisa de Linux em amd64 ou arm64, Docker e da versão do framework agentenv fixada pelo guia.

### Medii pentru aplicații desktop
REA poate crea și un mediu pentru o aplicație desktop Linux, pe care un agent o folosește prin capturi de ecran, mouse și tastatură. Dintr-o cerere de un rând, precum „Creează-mi un mediu Gnote în care agentul adaugă ulei de măsline în notița cu lista de cumpărături”, agentul tău instalează aplicația pe un computer de build local, scrie sarcina, exportă mediul și verifică sarcina pe un computer nou. Mașina care îl creează are nevoie de Linux pe amd64 sau arm64, Docker și versiunea frameworkului agentenv fixată de ghid.

### Окружения десктопных приложений
REA также может создать окружение десктопного приложения для Linux, которым агент пользуется через снимки экрана, мышь и клавиатуру. По запросу в одну строку, например «Создай окружение Gnote, где агент добавляет оливковое масло в заметку со списком покупок», ваш агент устанавливает приложение на локальный компьютер сборки, пишет задание, экспортирует окружение и проверяет задание на новом компьютере. Машине, которая его собирает, нужны Linux на amd64 или arm64, Docker и версия фреймворка agentenv, указанная в руководстве.
